Ever felt out of place in traditional recovery programs? Wes B. knows the feeling all too well.

He talks about the near-death experiences that shook him to his core and the incremental steps that led him towards sobriety.

Wes also highlights the importance of developing more secular AA groups to provide options for those who don't connect with traditional methods. This episode isn't just about Wes's journey; it's a beacon for anyone seeking a non-religious route to recovery.
