005 Helpful Aspects of 12-Step Recovery - a podcast by Liv & Tiffany

This episode explores the helpful aspects of 12-step recovery, such as:

Community

Peers in recovery

Rituals

The 12 steps

Spirituality

Sponsorship/mentorship

So often, people consider this topic in a binary way: it’s either the right pathway or it’s wrong. As people who both began their recovery in 12-step fellowships and later left, Liv and Tiffany don’t consider 12-step recovery to be a poor choice — it was helpful. Given that they also discuss elements that didn’t work for them, and beliefs they grew out of in this season, it’s helpful to look at the topic holistically, starting with the aspects that were helpful to their early recovery.

We found that it provided a much-needed perspective in early recovery: it was a doorway to look deeper and see the ways in which drugs and alcohol impacted our lives and the lives of those we loved. This was foundational for further personal growth we pursued later in our recovery.
