Secular Sobriety: Insights from the WAAFT IAAC Convention

I think that age- both, you know standard age and also age and sobriety, kind of gives you the leeway to say: hey, you know what.
What happens when agnostics, atheists, and freethinkers come together to discuss sobriety? This episode of Beyond Belief Sobriety dives into just that. Recorded after the We Agnostics, Atheists, and Freethinkers International AA Convention in Austin, Texas, it features Benn B. from Lincoln, Nebraska, Vic L. from New York, and Willow F. from Seattle. They share their thoughts on the convention, highlighting the unique atmosphere of secular AA meetings and the power of face-to-face interactions in recovery.
The hosts delve into various topics, including the surprising number of attendees and the refreshing absence of political debates. They also touch on the Grapevine's religious undertones and discuss the role of the board of directors in WAAFT IAAC. A key takeaway is the need for a central online hub for secular AA members, providing a space for support and resources.
One memorable moment is when a guest says, 'I think that age—both in years and in sobriety—gives you the freedom to say: hey, you know what.' This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about secular approaches to sobriety and the importance of community support in addiction recovery.
