About An Atheist Reads the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous
My name is Josh C and I am an alcoholic in a 12 step program of recovery. I am also an atheist and have found some recovery programs challenging. In this podcast I read the original text of the AA big book and try to understand the god stuff from an atheist perspective. I also explore other forms of recovery as I load my toolbox with everything I can to keep sober one more day. I hope this podcast helps you do the same.

Welcome to An Atheist Reads the Big Book of AA Episode 30! In this episode I cover step eleven: Sought through prayer and medication to improve our conscious contact with god as we understood him, praying only for knowledge of his will for us and the power to carry that out AND tradition eleven: Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio. and films.

Episode 29: Step Ten and Tradition Ten From the 12 X 12 - Stoic Reading February 1st
Welcome to An Atheist Reads the Big Book of AA Episode 29! In this episode I cover step ten: Continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong promptly admitted it AND tradition ten: Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the AA name ought never be drawn into public controversy. The stoic ready does a great job leading into these two by bringing up the concept of living outside of the feelings of anger and hate. This is further explored by looking at emotions as the chemicals they are and how important regulation is over supression.
