Some of the Potential Benefits and Harms of 12-Step Groups

Fair warning: This episode contains cursing! On this episode, we'll be talking about some of the potential benefits of healthy 12-step groups and the potential harms of unhealthy ones. Definitely not a comprehensive list of all the potential benefits/harms, but I go over the ones that were most noticeable to me throughout my time in the program of AA. Some of the resources mentioned in the episode are listed below: Aaagnostica.org (just an ah-mazing website for agnostics and atheists who are trying to get sober) The Proactive 12 Steps Rational Recovery Beyond Belief: Agnostic Musings for 12-Step Life (Daily Reader) SMART Recovery SOS (which stands for Save Our Selves) The Satanic Temple’s Sober Faction Group (which has a FB group with regular Zoom meetings) Advocacy, Recovery, Community, and Humanity (ARCH) (another FB group with regular Zoom meetings) Pagans in Recovery (FB group with regular Zoom meetings) Sober Witches and Pagans (FB group) Clean and Sober Pagans (FB group) Good without God (Book by Greg M. Epstein) The Pagan in Recovery: The 12-Steps from a Pagan Perspective (Book by Deirdre Anne Hebert)
