In this episode, we sit down with Eric, Ben, and Dr. Tambini to dive into a hot topic in the recovery world—talking about drugs inside Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Some people in AA believe discussions should strictly focus on alcohol, while others recognize that addiction, in any form, is part of the same struggle.

We break down why this debate exists, why some people are against mentioning drugs in AA meetings, and ultimately, why it shouldn’t matter. At the end of the day, recovery is about honesty, connection, and finding a solution—no matter what substance was involved. Tune in for a real, unfiltered conversation about inclusivity in the recovery community.
