Episode 124: Step Three

What if you could reinterpret a traditional recovery step to fit your secular beliefs? In this episode of Beyond Belief Sobriety, hosts Angela and John tackle Step Three, which traditionally reads, 'Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.' For many non-believers, this wording can be a stumbling block.

But Angela and John are here to show that there's a way to make this step work for everyone, regardless of religious belief. They discuss practical tools like relaxing your mental grip on belief and consciously relaxing your muscles to help you work through Step Three. The hosts also explore how secular meetings can create inclusive spaces for those who find traditional AA meetings challenging.

They highlight the importance of representation, voice, and budget in these meetings to ensure everyone feels part of the community. By the end of the episode, you'll have new insights into how to navigate traditional meetings and foster a sense of belonging in your early recovery journey. Whether you're a non-believer or just looking for a fresh perspective, this episode offers valuable guidance on making Step Three work for you.
