Welcome to An Atheist Reads the Big Book of AA Episode 22! In this episode I cover the 3rd step: Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.  This step can be a sticking point for a lot of folks, believer or non, and I hope I'm able to unpack it in a way that people can approach this a little differently.  Tradition 3, however, is one of the most important tradition to maintain the integrity of the AA program and its meeting spaces.  It also has a lot to do with the inclusive nature that AA is supposed to uphold.  While true, this chapter has some rough spots that I take issue with.
