Sobriety Without Faith: An Atheist's Journey Through the AA Big Book
Through my own experience and that of some of my guests, I will explore sobriety from an atheist perspective.
Ever wondered how an atheist navigates the spiritual-heavy waters of the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book? Meet Josh C, a recovering alcoholic who’s tackling this very challenge. In his podcast, 'An Atheist Reads the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous', Josh takes listeners on a journey through the original AA texts, all while stripping away the religious elements. His aim? To make these principles accessible to everyone, regardless of their faith—or lack thereof.
This episode trailer offers a sneak peek into what Josh has in store. He breaks down his approach to understanding the 'god stuff' that can often feel exclusionary to non-believers. But Josh doesn't stop there; he also dives into various secular recovery methods, filling his toolbox with strategies to stay sober each day. If you’ve ever felt out of place in traditional 12-step programs due to their religious undertones, this podcast could be a game-changer.
Josh’s candid and inclusive discussions promise a fresh perspective on sobriety that welcomes atheists, agnostics, and anyone uncertain about their spiritual stance. Tune in to see how Josh navigates his path to sobriety without leaning on faith-based methods. It's a unique take on recovery that could resonate deeply with those seeking a secular approach.
