It's who I am and I wouldn't be where I am today without this thought process.
Picture this: you're trying to overcome addiction, but the traditional paths just don't resonate with you. That's exactly where Katy Jacopi found herself during the height of the pandemic. In this episode of Beyond Belief Sobriety, host John Sheldon sits down with Katy to discuss her unique challenges as a non-believer entering recovery. With Alcoholics Anonymous' emphasis on a 'higher power' not fitting her beliefs, Katy had to seek out alternatives.
She shares her story of discovering a secular AA program that finally felt right. Katy talks about the importance of meeting people where they are and tailoring recovery to individual needs. She also dives into how cognitive behavioral therapy and creative outlets like writing played crucial roles in her journey. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of finding community and support in unexpected places, offering hope and practical advice for those on a similar path.
