I remember being the most toxic newcomer...and I just don't think that it's fair or compassionate, and I know that was not our intention at all. I just don't like the idea of being toxic.
What was it like stepping into the world of recovery for the first time? In this episode of 'At The CCC', hosts Anthony, Bonnie Violet, and Lou Lou dive into their initial experiences as newcomers in the recovery community. Broadcasting from the heart of San Francisco's Castro Country Club, they share candid stories about their early days in recovery, offering a unique queer perspective on the journey to sobriety.
They discuss what helped them, what didn't, and the crucial role newcomers play in groups like Alcoholics Anonymous. One host even opens up about their discomfort with the term 'toxic newcomer' and the negative vibes it brings. The conversation isn't just about personal anecdotes; it also touches on the spiritual side of recovery, tools for managing pain, and the importance of finding a supportive community.
Whether you're new to recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode provides heartfelt insights and practical advice on approaching newcomers with compassion and understanding. Tune in to discover how embracing new beginnings can lead to a fulfilling path of sobriety.
