  • Summary

  • One of the challenges of having a family member struggling with a substance abuse disorder is the feeling of alienation from your community. You feel that people are judging you negatively because of what your loved one is going through.  That is why support groups for people who are in the same position are important. They help you feel supported and accepted despite what you are going through.


    Aid fellowship groups such as Alcoholic Anonymous (AA) allow those struggling with addiction to feel loved and supported without judgment. Their program is based on those struggling with addiction helping one another. This is effective because the people who are helping understand exactly where those struggling with addiction are.


    Today, I’ll share a little bit about AA and the progress I have made in reconnecting to myself since the last episode.


    In This Episode You Will Learn:

    • The story behind the founding of the AA aid fellowship (11:52)
    • The first step of the 12 steps in AA (02:43)
    • The importance of finding groups with a common denominator (06:11)
    • Donna’s progress since the sixth episode (09:32)
