But you know what happened: they embrace me and I've actually become more involved in AA than I've ever been before.
Ever wondered what it was like to get sober in the 1970s? In this episode of the Beyond Belief Sobriety Podcast, Thomas B. takes you on a trip down memory lane, sharing his personal journey to sobriety in New York during that transformative decade. But it’s not just about his own story; Thomas also recounts a fascinating conversation with Nell Wing, Bill W.'s secretary, offering a unique glimpse into the early days of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Beyond personal anecdotes, the episode dives into the history of the Back to Basics movement in AA, shedding light on its principles and evolution. Thomas B. doesn't stop there; he also discusses the prospects for a Grapevine book that aims to include stories from agnostics, atheists, and freethinkers within AA. This is a must-listen for anyone interested in the broader, secular aspects of addiction recovery.
The episode also touches on some of the ongoing debates within the secular AA community, such as the concept of singleness of purpose and the importance of anonymity. Thomas B.’s involvement in these discussions provides valuable insights for those navigating their own paths to sobriety without a religious framework. If you're curious about alternative routes to recovery or just love hearing about the history and evolution of AA from a secular perspective, this episode is packed with information and inspiration.
Tune in and let Thomas B.'s story inspire your own journey toward sobriety.
