BGS Short - Meetings

In this heartfelt reflection, Christina Cook—host of The Broke Girl Society podcast—dives into one of her favorite quotes:“The opposite of addiction isn’t sobriety—it’s connection.”Recovery isn’t just about what we’re walking away from—it’s about what we’re walking toward. And connection is at the heart of that journey. In this short episode, Christina talks about the quiet strength found in late-night phone calls, supportive group chats, and the simple but powerful act of saying, “I’m struggling.”Whether you’re new to recovery or years into it, this is your reminder that support is always out there. From online groups like The Broke Girl Society to in-person meetings and peer-led communities, there are people ready to welcome you with open arms.You don’t have to do this alone.None of us do.Connection is where healing begins—and it often starts with one message, one meeting, or one honest conversation.**If you are struggling with your mental health or having thoughts of self harm, please seek the help of professionals.
