What Is "We Sober Agnostics" About?

The traditional model of 12-step programs, based on the process outlined in the book Alcoholics Anonymous, is steeped in religious terminology and seems to insist that recovery relies on a belief in a god of some kind.

This can pose a challenge for the person

seeking recovery who is agnostic, atheist or otherwise non-religious.

However, the actual process of recovery found in 12-step programs is very similar to that outlined in various forms of secular therapy.

And the recovering addict can find traditional 12-step meetings easily. This makes them a useful, if not critical, tool for working through a process of establishing and maintaining recovery, especially in the very early days.

This book is designed to help the non-believer use 12-step programs, the most popular tools in the world of recovery, to get and stay better, and do so in a way that makes sense to them.
