Father Bill completes exploring whatever void religion might fill within 12-Step programs. His guest is Matt D., Executive Director of All Addicts Anonymous. Matt has been a previous guest on the podcast and has extensive knowledge about and first-hand experience with many of the Pioneers in the AA program. This episode is focused on identifying several spiritual practices common to many religions but, of necessity, missing from 12-Step programs.
