Sobriety is measured by only one thing: are you abstinent? But what we're talking about is one biggest method in Sos is a sobriety priority, and that's that today I'm not going to drink or drug, no matter what life throws at me.
Picture yourself in the cozy Sober.Coffee Shop with hosts Mike R and Glenn H, as they embark on a fascinating series exploring alternatives to AA. In this episode, they are joined by John, who introduces listeners to SOS—Secular Organizations for Sobriety. This nonprofit network is all about helping people achieve and maintain sobriety from various addictions, whether it's alcohol, drugs, or even food.
Mike kicks things off by emphasizing that while AA has helped many, it’s not the only route to recovery. He and Glenn believe in offering a range of options for those seeking sobriety. John then takes the spotlight to explain how SOS operates differently from traditional step programs. Unlike AA, SOS focuses purely on sobriety and abstinence, measuring success by whether someone remains substance-free.
One of the key methods in SOS is the 'sobriety priority'—a commitment to stay sober no matter what life throws at you. John shares that this approach is scientifically backed, changing brain chemistry and empowering individuals by having them vocalize their commitment to themselves. It's about finding freedom in sobriety without the pressure of conforming to a specific program.
Throughout the chat, John paints a vivid picture of how SOS provides a supportive environment for those who want to get sober in their own way. There's no pressure to commit immediately; it's a space to explore and find what works best for you. He encourages anyone curious about SOS to attend a meeting or reach out for more information. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone on the sober path or considering it.
Mike, Glenn, and John remind us that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to recovery. They offer hope and practical advice, making it clear that finding the right program is crucial for long-term sobriety. So grab your favorite mug and join the conversation—this might just be the alternative you've been looking for.
