This liberty has made AA available to thousands who never would have tried at all had we insisted on the steps just as written.
Imagine a room filled with people from all walks of life, united by a common goal: sobriety. That's the scene set by Roger C. from the We Agnostics group in Hamilton, Ontario, as he took the stage in Kansas City, Missouri, on August 6, 2016. This wasn't just any gathering; it was a celebration marking the anniversaries of two secular AA groups, Freethinkers and We Agnostics, and the entire Kansas City AA community was there to join in.
Roger's talk is a refreshing blend of humor, insight, and heartfelt stories. He opens up about his own journey through addiction and recovery, sharing both the struggles and triumphs. But what makes this episode truly special is Roger's emphasis on inclusivity. He passionately discusses how non-traditional AA groups like We Agnostics provide a safe haven for those who don't fit into the conventional mold of AA.
One of the standout moments in Roger's speech is his reflection on the liberty within AA that has allowed for the creation of diverse groups. This flexibility has enabled thousands to seek help who might have otherwise been deterred by a rigid structure. He highlights the importance of creating welcoming spaces where everyone, regardless of their beliefs, can find support and fellowship. The growth of agnostic meetings in AA worldwide is another key point Roger touches on.
He shares how these meetings are expanding, offering more people the chance to find a community that resonates with their personal beliefs. The We Agnostics group in Hamilton stands as a testament to this inclusive approach, showing how non-traditional groups can help newcomers find their footing in sobriety. This episode of Beyond Belief Sobriety isn't just informative; it's inspiring.
It sheds light on the power of diversity within recovery communities and underscores the importance of inclusivity in helping more people find their path to sobriety. If you're curious about how secular AA groups are making a difference or just want to hear an engaging and uplifting story, this episode is a must-listen.
