Through the steps I got this freedom from the obsession to drink and I ascribed that to this god that I believed I had found in the step. But once I arrived at that point of complete acceptance of my atheism, I was very comfortable with it and I was able to reconcile AA with that without any problem whatsoever.

Mike M's gripping story on the Beyond Belief Sobriety Podcast takes you through his early years of drinking, jail time, and the relentless pursuit of sobriety.
