Beyond Belief Sobriety
My name is Vic L. and I am definitely an alcoholic. I first went to AA on February 11, 1979 when I was 35 years old. I do not distinguish between alcohol or any other drugs (i.e. pot, cocaine, opiates) or any other “dry goods.

“Everything, as far as I'm concerned, has a natural scientific explanation.”
Ever wondered if there's a way to navigate sobriety without leaning on religious frameworks? Meet Vic L., who first walked into an AA meeting back in 1979, feeling out of place due to its religious undertones. In this episode of Beyond Belief Sobriety, Vic candidly shares his story of battling alcoholism and how he found a non-religious path to recovery through Secular AA.
He talks about the challenges he faced with traditional AA, his first experience at a secular meeting, and his active role in the Secular AA movement. Vic also touches on the debates surrounding altered steps and the future of this inclusive approach. If you're seeking a different route to sobriety or simply curious about alternative recovery methods, Vic's journey offers a fresh perspective.
