Is AA all about following the straight and narrow, or is there room for nuance in recovery? This week, Steve and I break free from the black and white thinking that can trap us in sobriety. We tackle the "one drink = start over" dogma, explore the beauty of personal choice, and celebrate the power of tools over rigid rules. Buckle up for a thought-provoking discussion about finding your own path and making recovery work for you, not the other way around.
Highlights:
- Black & white vs. grey: Rethinking the "all or nothing" mentality in AA.
- One-drink slips: Should a minor misstep erase your entire journey?
- Picking your tools: Using the program as a toolbox, not a straitjacket.
- Attraction, not promotion: Embracing diversity and individual paths to sobriety.
- Learning from everyone: Accepting different experiences and finding inspiration in unique journeys.
