I think it really depends on each person...the problems that I was having with alcohol were legal problems. If I stopped drinking, I wouldn't go into seizures or fits, like some people will.
As storm Ciara raged across the UK, Jeremy P. found a quiet moment in London to share his story with host John S. on the Beyond Belief Sobriety Podcast. This episode offers a deep dive into Jeremy's personal struggle with identifying as an alcoholic. Unlike many AA speakers he’s encountered, Jeremy questions the conventional labels and explores the nuanced differences between alcoholics and heavy drinkers who sometimes lose control.
Jeremy’s narrative is both relatable and eye-opening, particularly for those who feel out of place in traditional AA settings. He candidly discusses the challenges posed by the religious language often used in AA, emphasizing the need for personalized recovery journeys that resonate on a deeper, more individual level. Listeners will find Jeremy’s insights both thought-provoking and comforting. His story underscores the importance of finding a recovery path that feels right for you, rather than conforming to a one-size-fits-all approach.
Whether you're struggling to identify your relationship with alcohol or seeking secular methods for sobriety, this episode promises to offer valuable perspectives and hope.
