We can get caught up on the fact that I explain my sobriety different than you explain or any other two people explain it, but we really do have the same experience.
What does recovery look like for someone who doesn't believe in a higher power? Joe C. knows firsthand. As a teenager, Joe's life was nearly claimed by alcohol and drugs multiple times before he stumbled into Alcoholics Anonymous. At first, he went through the motions, but eventually, sobriety became his reality, and he's been committed to the Twelve Steps ever since. In this episode of The SHAIR Recovery Podcast, Joe C.
sits down with Omar Pinto to share his unique perspective on navigating recovery as an atheist and agnostic. He sheds light on how secular individuals can still find success within the Twelve Steps, despite not believing in a supernatural higher power. Joe C. is also the author of 'Beyond Belief: Agnostic Musings for 12 Step Life' and the voice behind the RebellionDogs podcast, where he discusses addiction, recovery, and mental health from a secular viewpoint.
He dives into the history of secular recovery within AA, the importance of service in maintaining sobriety, and the universal nature of addiction and recovery experiences. This episode isn't just for atheists and agnostics; it's for anyone curious about different paths to sobriety. Joe C.'s story is a testament to the idea that recovery is possible for everyone, regardless of their beliefs.
He also touches on the significance of attachment, self-reflection, and human connection, especially in the context of online recovery communities. Tune in to gain valuable insights and perhaps a new perspective on your own recovery journey.
