For me to be free from, you know alcohol or drug overuse. Sos, if you want to start a meeting in your country, in your city, no matter how big or small.
Ever felt like the traditional AA meetings just don't quite fit your beliefs or needs? In this episode of 'Safe Recovery', Monica Richardson chats with Jim Christopher, the founder of Secular Organizations for Sobriety (SOS). Jim shares his personal journey to sobriety and the vision behind SOS, which offers a non-religious support system for those looking to break free from addiction.
With over 500 meetings worldwide, SOS has become a haven for atheists and others who find AA's religious undertones off-putting. Jim dives into the importance of empowerment in recovery, critiquing AA's approach and offering an inclusive alternative. You'll hear about how anyone can start an SOS meeting in their own community and the role courts play in mandating AA attendance. Plus, there's a sprinkle of humor throughout as Jim and Monica discuss the lighter side of staying sober.
If you're searching for a recovery path that aligns with your secular values, this episode might just be the game-changer you need.
