Secular Sobriety Online: Mikey J. on OMAGOD's Journey
We have a very open-minded group and I think that having a variety of meetings, like you do now because of the pandemic, is amazing, because you can find your people, you know, you can go anywhere of the world.
Picture a group where you can discuss your recovery without religious undertones. In this episode of 'Beyond Belief Sobriety', Mikey J. from the Our Mostly Agnostic Group of Drunks (OMAGOD) shares the fascinating history and evolution of their meetings in Orlando, Florida. Now hosted online every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, these sessions offer a refreshing take on Alcoholics Anonymous by focusing on secular support.
Mikey dives into the nuts and bolts of transitioning to online meetings, especially during the pandemic, and how it has reshaped their community. You'll hear about the hurdles they faced, the role of humor in making meetings more approachable, and the significance of donations in keeping the group afloat. This episode is a treasure trove for anyone looking to understand how non-religious approaches can offer a supportive and inclusive environment for those on the path to sobriety.
Tune in for a candid discussion that might just change how you view recovery.
