While god isn't necessary, coming to terms with the need to remove attachments to personal traits that are causing harm is.
Ever wondered how an atheist navigates the spiritual elements of the AA Big Book? In this episode, Josh C takes on Step Six and Tradition Six from the 12 X 12 with his unique secular perspective. Step Six challenges members to be entirely ready to let go of harmful personal traits, a task Josh explores without invoking a higher power. Instead, he focuses on the importance of self-awareness and the willingness to change for the better.
Tradition Six, on the other hand, keeps AA from becoming commercialized, a principle Josh passionately supports. He shares how AA almost became a marketable brand, which would have undermined its core values. To add a reflective twist, Josh reads from the Daily Stoic, marking the start of a new year with timeless wisdom.
This episode is perfect for those looking to understand recovery through a non-religious lens and emphasizes the importance of internal growth and maintaining the integrity of support groups like AA.
