It's the other alcoholics as humans, is we were hanging around outside the meeting and that support.
Picture this: You're trying to stay sober, but the usual methods just don't click for you. That's where PJ's minimalist approach comes in. In this episode of Beyond Belief Sobriety, PJ breaks down his straightforward strategy for maintaining sobriety, which revolves around three core actions: not taking the first drink, participating in AA meetings, and getting involved in service.
After discovering secular AA meetings during a trip to the US, PJ and a friend decided to bring this concept back home to Sydney, Australia, where they started their own secular meeting in Brookvale. PJ shares how his group has grown and adapted, even through the challenges posed by COVID-19. Online meetings have become a lifeline, helping to connect with other secular AA groups across Australia.
He also opens up about the unique hurdles faced by non-believers in traditional AA settings and underscores the importance of storytelling in these meetings. One of the key takeaways from PJ's journey is the value of making amends and seeking external support. He stresses that consistent peer support is crucial, especially during tough times like the pandemic.
Through his story, PJ highlights how a minimalist approach can still be incredibly effective in finding a path to sobriety that works for you. If you're looking for a no-frills, practical way to stay sober, PJ's insights might just be what you need. Tune in to hear how simplicity and community can make all the difference in your recovery journey.
