What happens when atheism meets the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous? In this episode of 'The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast', Arlina Allen sits down with Neil, who candidly shares his journey through alcoholism, drug addiction, and the winding road to sobriety.

For anyone who's ever felt out of place in traditional recovery settings, Neil's experience offers a refreshing perspective on finding alternative steps and groups that resonate more personally. He discusses the universal solutions to life's problems and how patience and fear have been his constant companions—and adversaries—along the way.
Beyond the philosophical, Neil delves into the practical aspects of recovery: finding joy, redefining connections, and navigating the complex world of dating while staying sober. His insights on being of service to others are particularly poignant, highlighting how helping others has been a cornerstone of his own healing process. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of one man's quest for sobriety, packed with relatable struggles and uplifting moments.
