Giving away this recovery thing - not just to other alcoholics that may need to find their way to recovery (even if that isn't AA) but to those around me in every day life. I carry this new, better me in all my affairs.
What does it mean to truly help others while staying true to your own beliefs? In this episode of 'An Atheist Reads the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous', Josh C dives into the essence of the 12th step—'Working With Others'. This step is often seen as the backbone of Alcoholics Anonymous, and Josh breaks down why giving away recovery can be so transformative, not just for other alcoholics but for everyone in your life.
With a focus on control and how it plays a role in recovery, Josh offers a fresh perspective on what it means to refocus your energy on what you can truly control: your actions and their impact on the world around you. He also discusses how he navigates the god-centric language of the AA Big Book, making it accessible for those who, like him, approach sobriety from a secular standpoint.
Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, Josh's insights are both enlightening and practical. Tune in for a thoughtful conversation that blends personal experience with broader recovery principles.
