Tune in to this episode as we hear from a listener who’s one year into recovery—committed, attending meetings, and working with a sponsor—but still struggling to connect with the 12 steps. For this neurodivergent individual, the structure of the program often feels more like pressure than support. While their sponsor, therapist, and spouse all believe in the process, they’re left wondering if it truly fits their needs. We dive into an important question: What happens when the traditional path doesn’t feel like your path? Can you still grow in recovery by doing things differently? And how do you honor your own truth while managing the expectations of those around you?
