    Episode 71: Meet Michael, author of We Sober Agnostics (2023)
    Jan 27 2023
    Michael wrote a book directed at irreligious newcomers to 12-Step recovery. Michael arrived here in the 90s as a nonbeliever and he wondered if he could fit is without being closeted about his sincerely held worldview, nor ruffling the feathers of the faith-healing devotees in the room. He found a way, but like so much in mutual-aid, not without help and direction of other like-minded people with alcohol (and other drugs) use disorder. Now he's written a booklet that shares his experience and some contemporary alternatives for people who want sobriety - not a white-light experience.  Recently a Great Britain member survey revealed that 65% of members are secular when it comers to the idea of a higher power. Two thirds of AA do not believe in a prayer-answering, sobriety-granting supernatural being.  While it is easy to compare and say, sure most Europeans are atheist so of course AA is the same, but USA is different. Yes, America is not the same, but how different? How many atheists (and/or agnostics) are there in USA on this side of the Atlantic who are in AA? If it's not 2/3, is it 1/2, one in ten, what? Well I think we should ask in our next membership survey the same as they asked in Great Britain. And here's what I'm thinking: are most of the atheists, or non-theists if you prefer, in secular AA or in mainstream AA? On episode 70, non-alcoholic trustee Mani Mehdikhani who wrote the questions for the membership survey was surprised at how many people in AA who believe in the power of example or the group or the process but not a prayer-answering, sobriety-granting higher power. If he was surprised how irreligious Great Britain AA is, would we be surprised how atheist USA AA is? Today, on Episode 71 of Rebellion Dogs Publishing podcast, Michael has been to secular AA meetings, but he's not a regular. He goes to regular, everyday AA and that's his jam. Michael wrote a Living Sober-size booklet for newcomers who, like him, wonder how their non-theistic views will work out in AA. It's a great chat - I had never met Michael but we talk about a lot and it's a hoot.  So, I think he is more typical of an AA atheist than I am.  I think - although I do not know - that most atheists make do and/or prefer regular AA instead of secular focused AA. What do you think?  Listen first if you like and tell me which one of us sounds more like average Joe or average Michael atheist AA member.  Our musical guest is another new-for-2023 offering from Your Ex And I (YXNI) from Montreal with their synth pop tune "To all the Loves."

  • Episode 62: Recovery After Rehab: Dr Joe Nowinski on Episode 62

    Episode 62: Recovery After Rehab: Dr Joe Nowinski on Episode 62
    Aug 14 2021
    Joe Nowinski is back in Rebellion Dogs Radio sights as we think his new book satisfies a previously unmet need. Recovery After Rehab: A Guide for the Newly Sober and their Loved Ones is like the owners manual to your new sober life. "So, I'm finished my stint in rehab; what do I do now? What do I do first?"  For all the $$$ you spent and/or your health provider spent on your in (or out) patient care to treat alcohol  use (or other drug) disorder, the $28 for this book will help improve outcome rates.  Do you want a 40% change at sustained, engaging recovery for an 80% chance? Some of that will be informed by decision you make in the first days, months and year of sobriety. For those of us in long-term recovery the book offers some hows and whys with reporting on studies that define what habits lead to better outcome rates? How many meetings a month do I have to attend? How long do I have to keep going? Well, now there's some data on this, based on people a lot like us. Recovery After Rehab looks into Medically Assisted Recovery, mental health, creating a recovery lifestyle, relationship damage and how to move forward, slips and relapse. There is a catalogue of peer-to-peer recovery fellowships, explaining SMART, Women for Sobriety and varieties of AA and other 12-step options. This is Dr Joe's second visit. We cover his decades of clinical care and academic study of people with substance use disorder and how much more has been revealed so far this century. Show notes @ Rebellion Dogs Publishing

    Jun 18 2021
    It was 2011, Rebellion Dogs Publishing was tasked by TheFix.com to talk to Pulitzer-nominated, New York Times bestselling author Marya Hornbacher about her new book, Waiting: A Nonbeliever's Higher Power. Ten years later there is just so much more to ponder, talk and laugh about. Joe C and Marya Hornbacher, along with Dr. Allan Berger and Freethinkers Living Sober AZ host, John R, completed a five-part Zoom series on Emotional Sobriety. We talk about getting sober early in life and how sober life priorities and approaches change through the decades. We talk about publishing: Traditional publishers and DIY (do-it-yourself) self-publishing advantages and disadvantages. There's more: music, poetry, COVID, the proliferation of AA "without a prayer": secular Alcoholics Anonymous, road-tripping, chaos management in recovery from addiction, lessons learned from writing mentors, the source of writing motivation, poems, music, art and the year of living COVID-ly. There is a song from The Chronicles Chronic Mal-content CD, "A House is on Fire," Visit https://rebelliondogspublishing.com for show notes and links.
