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.

Episode 25: Step Six and Tradition Six From the 12 X 12 - Stoic Reading Jan 1st

Welcome to An Atheist Reads the Big Book of AA Episode 25! In this episode I cover the 6th Step: Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. While god isn't necessary, coming to terms with the need to remove attachments to personal traits that are causing harm is. The 6th tradition keeps AA from becoming a sellable brand that, at one point, was almost slapped on educational pamphlets put out by big alcohol. Despite the episode coming out on the 4th I choose to read January 1st from the Daily Stoic to commemorate the start of a new year.
