Joe C.: Navigating Sobriety Without a Higher Power

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.
Can you imagine finding sobriety without believing in a higher power? Joe C. did just that. In this episode of The Recovery Revolution, Joe shares his journey from teenage alcoholism and drug use to becoming a vocal advocate for agnostics and atheists in recovery. His story is one of resilience and determination, as he navigated the Twelve Steps without the traditional belief in a supernatural higher power. Joe C.
has been active in the recovery community for years, writing, broadcasting, and podcasting about addiction, recovery, and mental health. He is also the author of 'Beyond Belief: Agnostic Musings for 12 Step Life'. In this conversation, Joe discusses the unique challenges faced by non-believers in recovery and offers practical insights on how they can successfully apply the Twelve Steps.
He also delves into the history of secular recovery within Alcoholics Anonymous and emphasizes the importance of acceptance and service in maintaining sobriety. Whether you're an atheist, agnostic, or simply curious about alternative approaches to recovery, Joe's story provides a refreshing perspective that challenges conventional wisdom. Tune in to hear how he found his path to sobriety and continues to inspire others with his agnostic musings.
