Being LGBTQIA+ in a 12-step program for drug and alcohol addiction can present unique challenges that require sensitivity and understanding. One of the main obstacles is the potential lack of inclusivity and representation within the program. Many LGBTQIA+ individuals may struggle to find relatable stories or experiences that mirror their own, which can lead to feelings of isolation and disconnection. It is crucial for the program to create a safe and supportive environment where LGBTQIA+ members can openly share their experiences without fear of judgment or discrimination. Tonight, we talk about being LGBTQIA+ in Recovery.   This week,  Martin, Becky, Kim, Shelly, Jim, Schez, Vicki, Penny Made their Sustaining Partner Donations.

To skip the intro, tap 3:25   Surrender is a fundamental concept in the journey of recovery from addiction, signifying a willingness to relinquish control and accept the reality of one's powerlessness over substances or other’s behaviors. It marks a pivotal moment of recognition, where individuals come to terms with the fact that their attempts to manage or control their addiction have been futile. Surrender does not signify weakness but rather strength, as it requires individuals to confront their vulnerabilities and humbly acknowledge their need for help. By surrendering to reality, individuals open themselves up to the possibility of healing and transformation, paving the way for a new way of living free from the grips of substance abuse.   Tonight, we talk about Surrender   This week,  Jinifer, Rebekah, Bryan, Dana, Tonja, Jean They made their Sustaining Partner Donations.

To skip the intro, tap 3:25   Hope is not just a desirable aspect but a necessary cornerstone of a recovery program. In the depths of addiction, individuals often feel consumed by despair, powerless to break free from the cycle of substance abuse.  In early recovery, hope provides a beacon of light amidst the darkness, offering the promise of a better tomorrow. It instills the belief that despite past mistakes and present struggles, a life of sobriety and fulfillment is attainable. This hope is not merely wishful thinking but a tangible force that drives individuals to take the necessary steps towards healing and transformation.
