In today’s bonus episode, I’m joined by AA member Robert P, to discuss the evolution of a movement known as Secular AA.

I knew very little about this topic before speaking to Robert and jumped at the opportunity to learn more about an alternate approach to sobriety.

As a passionate member of AA with over thirty years sobriety, Robert offers great insights into this lesser-known branch of a worldwide organisation.
