Welcome back to Shit Show Saturday. Andrea and Kiki say hi! Say hi!

Andrea and Kiki reporting from the couch. So today you're going to get to hear a

portion of last night's support group for the Shit Show community. We discuss

the reading from strengthening my recovery which is the ACA Daily Meditation

book. You guys you're missing out on a really rad community. Let's talk about the

three reasons why people resist adult child recovery. Talks about this in the

big red book. Number one is betrayal so we feel like if we talk about what happened to us as kids

that we are betraying our parents. We are not talking about what happened to us to shit on our

parents. We are talking about what happened to us so that we can understand the causes and

conditions that made us the way that we are. The fact of the matter is that not speaking our truth

is the ultimate act of betrayal to ourselves. Reason number two is pain. We think that the process

is going to be too painful. Yeah it's going to be painful. It's going to be painful and that's why

you need community to go through it with. But there is an ending to our suffering versus living

in perpetual suffering if we choose not to confront these issues for the rest of our life.

And the third reason that it talks about is we want to recover but we want to do it alone.

And I'm just telling you you can try. I bet there's a bunch of you listening right now who've been

trying to do this shit by yourself. It's not going to work. It's not going to work. Sorry. Hey
