Marty and Julie's Sobriety Milestones: A Secular Celebration
I found my home group from the time I walked in these rooms, and I don't know if it was probably this room.
Imagine reaching milestones in your sobriety journey without the need for religious beliefs. That's exactly what Marty K. and Julie K. have done, and they share their inspiring stories in this episode of Beyond Belief Sobriety. Recorded during the monthly anniversary meeting at We Agnostics Kansas City, this episode is a blend of humor, heartfelt reflections, and serious discussions about recovery.
Marty K., celebrating three years of sobriety, talks candidly about his initial skepticism towards the concept of addiction as a disease and how he eventually found a 'god of his understanding'. He emphasizes the role of gratitude and service in his ongoing recovery. Julie K., marking an impressive thirty years sober, shares her insights on accountability, the importance of a comfortable home group, and her thoughts on the separation of church and state within AA.
She also touches on the crucial topic of supporting pregnant alcoholics. The episode underscores the power of personal stories and the importance of a supportive community in addiction recovery. If you're on your own journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, Marty and Julie's experiences offer valuable perspectives on the secular path to recovery.
