When AA Isn’t Working

When AA Isn’t Working

Tim's Naked Life | EP 918 When AA isn't working, most people assume they're the problem — not committed enough, not broken enough, not at rock bottom enough to figure it all out and make a change. Tim Kelly thought that too. A 30-year sales professional who'd always been able to muscle through whatever came at him, Tim spent years inside 12-step programs and still couldn't stop drinking. In this episode, he sits down with Coach Cole Harvey to talk about what finally changed, and why the answer was never about trying harder. Tim and Coach Cole discuss: What five or six AA meetings a week for years actually felt like inside him, when all the work never brought the contentment he was looking for The night his fiancée found him drinking again and chose to stay, and why Tim believes that one decision may have saved his life Picking up Annie Grace's book and signing up for a Live Alcohol Experiment, the best $48 he's ever spent Why a numbers-driven, 30-year sales professional was skeptical that curiosity could do what years of hard work hadn't, and how that changed The "be where your hands are" grounding technique he learned in the Live Alcohol Experiment and still uses today Not walking his daughter down the aisle, carrying that grief openly, and how it became the reason he decided to become a coach And more on self-compassion, the "I know nothing" coaching philosophy, what the brain does when it decides you're broken, and so much more Episode links: alcoholexperiment.com Tim's coaching practice: https://onwardafcoaching.com/ Related episodes: Is AA Not the Only Answer?
