I think in the beginning, of course, people didn't want to deal with alcoholics and there wasn't anybody else really other than the church to try to deal with these people...And all of that, I think, is part of the 12th step.
How do you find joy in sobriety, especially from a secular perspective? In this episode of Beyond Belief Sobriety, hosts John S. and Angela wrap up their deep dive into the Twelve Steps by focusing on Step 12. This step is all about sharing the message and helping others in their recovery journey. But here's the twist—it's done without leaning on traditional religious frameworks. Instead, they explore how secular approaches can be just as fulfilling, if not more so.
One of the highlights of this episode is a call from Glenn G. in Jacksonville. Glenn shares his inspiring experience working to introduce a secular AA workshop at the Florida State convention. His story is a testament to how inclusive and diverse the path to sobriety can be. It's not just about abstaining from alcohol; it's about finding joy and community in the process. John and Angela also reflect on the evolving nature of Step work.
They emphasize the importance of sharing personal stories and experiences to foster a supportive environment. They touch on various secular recovery options, like Dharma recovery groups, that offer alternative ways to stay sober. If you're looking for a fresh take on sobriety that goes beyond traditional methods, this episode is a must-listen. It's packed with real-life stories and practical advice that make the journey to sobriety feel less daunting and more enjoyable.
