Being codependent, that's exactly what that meant for me.
Ever wondered how an atheist navigates the spiritual undertones of the AA Big Book? In this episode of 'An Atheist Reads the Big Book of AA', Josh C steps away from the usual text to read a poignant letter by AA co-founder Bill Wilson. This letter, written to a friend grappling with depression, reveals Bill's own struggles with mental health and his unique way of coping through helping others.
Josh doesn't just stop at Bill's story; he dives into his own experiences with depression and how he manages to stay sober. He brings in a stoic reading that echoes the letter's message about letting go of attachments to make reasoned choices. If you're curious about how secular individuals find their footing in AA or if you're looking for ways to manage emotional challenges in sobriety, this episode offers valuable insights.
Josh also encourages listeners to broaden their recovery toolkit and explore various paths to self-improvement. It's a thoughtful and relatable conversation that sheds light on the intersection of atheism, emotional sobriety, and personal growth.
