Secular Sobriety: Navigating the Twelve Steps Without Religion
I think it can be good to write it out in a way that makes sense to you. My suggestion is to be open that it's probably going to change, that we evolve and be open to that.
Ever wondered how to approach the Twelve Steps without a religious framework? In this episode of the Beyond Belief Sobriety podcast, Angela B. from the Agnostics, Atheists, and All Others group in Boise, Idaho, joins John S. to share their unique journeys through the Twelve Steps as atheists and freethinkers. Angela opens up about crafting a program that resonates with her beliefs and how she has guided others through a secular interpretation of the steps.
The conversation touches on the challenges specific to women, particularly with Step Four, and emphasizes the importance of creating personal, meaningful interpretations of each step. Angela and John also highlight the power of diverse perspectives in recovery meetings, advocating for an inclusive approach that respects individual experiences. Whether you're curious about secular recovery methods or seeking support outside traditional religious paths, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
