John H. on Secular AA: Time for a Break from Tradition?

If we are ostensibly secular, how can we identify ourselves as part of a religion?
Ever wondered if secular AA should part ways with traditional AA? In this episode of 'Beyond Belief Sobriety', John H. from the We Agnostics Group in Washington, DC, dives into this very question. As a self-proclaimed 'determined atheist', John offers a fresh perspective on why he believes secular AA should sever its ties with its traditional counterpart.
He discusses the challenges of integrating religious content into meetings and how it can create a toxic environment for those seeking a non-religious path to recovery. John also touches on the growing pains of secular AA as it evolves and faces new controversies. He passionately argues that embracing technology and change is essential for the future of secular AA. This episode is packed with thought-provoking insights and is a must-listen for anyone interested in alternative recovery methods.
Tune in to hear John's compelling arguments and his vision for a more inclusive and modern approach to sobriety.
