In this episode of In the Circle, we're diving into another profound exploration of the journey of recovery. We’re joined by Connor, who inquires: Can I Live A Fulfilling Life Without The 12 Steps? This is a topic that resonates deeply with me and many of our listeners, as the 12 steps have been a cornerstone in the world of recovery. I'm particularly excited about this discussion as it allows me to reflect on my journey with the 12 steps and open up a broader conversation about what long-term recovery entails. This question is not only relevant but crucial for those contemplating different paths to healing and sobriety. The 12 steps have undoubtedly transformed countless lives, offering a structured approach to overcoming addiction. However, the journey to recovery is personal and varied, and it's essential to address all possible avenues. Whether you're deeply involved in the 12-step program or seeking different methods of healing, this conversation aims to shed light on the diverse experiences of recovery.  Tommy discusses Are the 12 steps essential to recovery?Happiness vs ReliefWhy recovery is evolutionaryThe requirements for living a great lifeHow the 12 steps saved my life Looking for a way to deepen your recovery journey and meet others in the Recovery 2.0 community?
