And the reason my higher, my higher powers name, is motherfucker is because everybody has somebody in their life that is full of shit.
Imagine trying to navigate Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) as an atheist. That’s exactly what Keven did, and in this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, he shares his fascinating journey. Co-hosts Don and Sam sit down with Keven to discuss his initial skepticism about the religious aspects of AA and how he found a way to make the program work for him.
Keven's story begins with his first day sober, which he describes as a whirlwind of emotions and restlessness. His first meeting was on Step 1, a crucial step that set the tone for his recovery journey. A pivotal moment came when a 6-week elimination diet helped him realize the extent of his alcohol problem. Interestingly, Keven had switched to drinking only beer in his last year of active addiction after a family vacation incident involving liquor.
Within the first month of sobriety, Keven found a sponsor and a home group, essential elements that provided him with much-needed support. As an atheist, Keven's take on the concept of a higher power is refreshingly unconventional. He even has a unique name for this power, which he humorously refers to as 'motherfucker'. This episode is particularly inspiring for those who might be hesitant about AA due to its spiritual undertones.
Keven's story is a testament to the idea that recovery is possible for everyone, regardless of their beliefs. Tune in to hear more about Keven's path to sobriety and how he made AA work for him.
