Ep 118 Realizing the Truth About AA — Grieving AA 5: Acceptance
Episode 118
Acceptance after leaving Alcoholics Anonymous isn’t about forgiving abuse or sugarcoating the harm — it’s about choosing yourself and stepping into freedom.
In this episode of the Sobriety Bestie Podcast, I share what “acceptance” really means in the grieving process — without surrendering to AA’s powerlessness narrative. We’ll unpack:
- Why acceptance is not the same as condoning
- Breaking free from the “AA saved my life” myth
- How to reclaim your power and stability outside the rooms
- Journaling prompts to deepen your own acceptance and freedom
If AA was part of your life and leaving brought up grief, doubt, or relief, this is your space to get clarity and move forward on your terms.
📝 Journaling Prompts in this Episode:
- What truth can you see now that you couldn’t before?
- What no longer has a hold on you?
- What parts of AA do you no longer need?
- What beliefs are you choosing now?
- What does freedom look like for you today?
- What support system are you building?
