Finding Meaning in Sobriety: Spirituality Without God

I think we've covered that spiritual atheists are just as spiritual as anyone else.
Can you find spirituality without believing in God? That's the question hosts Veronica Valli and Chip Somers tackle in this episode of 'Soberful'. Chip, a lifelong atheist, and Veronica, who identifies as 'spiritual but not religious', dive into the complex relationship between sobriety and spirituality. They explore whether a belief in God is essential for recovery or if there are other ways to find deeper meaning and connection on the journey to sobriety.
Through candid discussions, they share their own experiences and reflections on spirituality, the role of self-disclosure, and managing expectations during recovery. The conversation also touches on the limitations of religious dogma and how disconnection can affect one's spiritual well-being. Whether you're an atheist, agnostic, or just curious about the topic, this episode offers a fresh perspective on finding support and hope in sobriety without relying on traditional religious beliefs.
If you've ever felt out of place in recovery programs that emphasize a higher power, this episode might just be what you need. It's an honest and thoughtful discussion that challenges conventional wisdom and opens up new avenues for understanding spirituality in the context of addiction recovery.
