I think it's really good that the people in your group will avail themselves of other programs too. There's no way I can give you a suppository that's going to get you sober.
What happens when you feel like you don't quite fit in? For Wally K., this feeling led him down a path of alcohol dependence that almost cost him everything. But after 47 years of sobriety, Wally has a story to tell—one that’s all about finding a community where he truly belongs. Starting with his first AA meeting, Wally found a sense of belonging that he had never experienced before.
However, the concept of a higher power in traditional AA meetings didn’t resonate with him. This disconnect led Wally and some like-minded individuals to form their own group: Atheists, Agnostics, and All Others in Boise, Idaho. This secular sobriety group has since become a sanctuary for those who don’t feel at home in traditional AA settings. It offers a space filled with tolerance, non-judgment, and empathy.
In this episode of 'Beyond Belief Sobriety', Wally shares his journey from feeling out of place to finding a supportive community that aligns with his beliefs. His story underscores the importance of exploring all available options in the quest for sobriety and highlights how crucial it is to find a community that supports your unique path. Tune in to hear Wally's inspiring tale and discover how a secular approach can provide the support and acceptance needed for a successful recovery.
