John S. on Finding Sobriety at the Paseo Group’s Alkathon

The steps are words...we were just convinced that if we were going to live, we had to stop drinking and furthermore, we were convinced that we couldn't stop drinking.
Picture this: It's a few days before Christmas, and John S. is about to speak at the Paseo Group’s Alkathon in Kansas City, Missouri. Armed with nothing but a napkin filled with hastily scribbled notes, he takes the stage to share his journey of recovery. In this episode of Beyond Belief Sobriety, John opens up about his experiences with the language of recovery, the steps he’s taken, and how he’s made AA principles work for him in a secular context.
John dives into the nitty-gritty of what it means to stay sober without relying on religious frameworks. He discusses how he’s navigated the complexities of recovery, from understanding the language used in meetings to taking actionable steps that resonate with his own beliefs. His candid reflections provide a fresh perspective on how to incorporate AA literature and principles into a secular recovery journey. One of the standout moments in this episode is John’s emphasis on the importance of connection.
Whether it's through AA meetings or other support networks, finding a community can be a game-changer in the recovery process. John’s story is both inspiring and practical, offering listeners valuable insights into how they can find their own path to sobriety without stepping into a traditional religious setting. So if you’re looking for a different take on addiction recovery, or simply want to hear an engaging story about overcoming challenges, this episode is a must-listen.
John’s experiences shed light on the power of personal growth, meditation, and forming meaningful connections, all while navigating a secular path to sobriety.
