The point is that we're breaking ground, we're starting something new, it's going to grow.
Imagine trying to navigate the world of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) without a belief in a higher power. For Jerry F. from Phoenix, Arizona, this was a reality. In this episode of Beyond Belief Sobriety, Jerry opens up about his journey to establish agnostic AA meetings in Arizona. He shares the inspiration he found at the Santa Monica convention and how it fueled his determination to create a space where atheists and agnostics could find support in their recovery journey.
The Arizona WAAFT AA Conference, which took place at the Burton Barr Central Library, was a landmark event featuring speakers, panels, and even a skit. Jerry talks about the challenges he faced, from skepticism within the AA community to logistical hurdles, and the rewarding feeling of seeing his group grow to six meetings a week. This episode isn't just about one man's story; it's about the broader importance of finding a supportive community that aligns with one's beliefs.
Whether you're an atheist, agnostic, or simply curious about secular recovery options, Jerry's story offers valuable insights and inspiration. Tune in to hear how breaking new ground can lead to meaningful change in addiction recovery.
