This Is What Real Alcohol Addiction Recovery Looks Like | Things I Wouldn't Have Done If I Was In AA

Almost two decades ago, I was lectured by a senior member from the Alcoholics Anonymous group about my approach to sobriety. This video reflects on how choosing a different path from the traditional AA meeting led to lasting alcohol addiction recovery without ever touching alcohol again. It made me think about all the amazing experiences and personal growth that would have been missed if I had followed their protocols for alcoholism recovery.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
