I'm just certain there is no god and that these people who think that god is keeping them sober, well, there isn't a god. But what is happening is there's a lot of stuff that these believers are doing, that I'm also doing, that other people are doing, and that's having a supportive community, that's making a decision to change, that's taking action to change all those things.
What happens when traditional paths to recovery don't quite fit? Jack J. from Bristol, England, faced this exact dilemma. In this engaging episode of Beyond Belief Sobriety, Jack opens up about his battle with sex addiction and the birth of his new peer support group, Secular Organizations for Sexual Sobriety (SOSS). Initially involved with Sexaholics Anonymous, Jack found its rigid definitions and religious undertones stifling. Determined to carve out a more inclusive and secular path, he created SOSS.
This group offers both online and in-person meetings across the UK, providing a safe space for those struggling with sexually compulsive behaviors. Jack's story is a testament to the power of community and the importance of personal commitment. He emphasizes that recovery isn't about divine intervention but about making a decision to change and taking actionable steps.
Whether you're navigating your own journey or supporting someone else, this episode offers valuable insights into secular recovery methods and the strength found in shared experiences.
