About us
Journey Out Of The Bottle (JOOTB) : Happier Hours!
These are NOT Your Mom’s AA Meetings!
Empowering and Liberating community gatherings guided by the JOOTB 11 Empowering Statements and Mantras.
During these gatherings, we:
- Connect in honest, uplifting community
- Enjoy functional mocktails together
- Demonstrate and practice Reservoir of Resources tools
- Explore grief relief and emotional-release practices
- Practice Adult Tantrums and other unconventional tools
- Reclaim joy, agency, humor, and personal power
I rewrote the 12 Steps of AA as a flipped narrative to the 11 Empowering Statements and Mantras.
Rather than emphasizing defectiveness or powerlessness, these statements focus on sovereignty, internal empowerment, affirmations, prompts, and the daily practice of coming back to yourself.
We also focus on revealing the myths, stigmas and untold truths around alcohol and addiction.
A flipped narrative on the 'normalization' to blame, shame and label the human that becomes dependent on a highly addictive substance!
Or to wonder 'what's wrong' when we choose to stop drinking.
The absurdities run deep and here we uncover them all - while liberating and reclaiming our lives to reach our highest potential!
