In this episode of Believe in People Extra, Kevin Kennedy shares an unfiltered account of what it was really like attending his first 12-step recovery meetings.Best known for playing Curly Watts on Coronation Street, Kevin reflects on the fear, ego, resistance, and discomfort he experienced when he first walked into AA and CA rooms and why almost everyone feels this way at the start.He talks honestly about denial, image, and why listening felt impossible at first, before describing the moment recovery began to land: realising he wasn’t being judged, and that the room was full of people who understood him.This short episode is for anyone who feels apprehensive about going to their first meeting, worries they “won’t fit in,” or thinks 12-step recovery might not be for them.#believeinpeople #believeinpeoplepodcast #believeinpeopleextra first AA meeting experience, starting 12 step recovery, what to expect at AA meetings, nervous about recovery meetings, Kevin Kennedy addiction recovery, first CA meeting, early recovery fear Click here to text our host, Matt, directly!🎧 Enjoyed this episode?
