Name
What does 'secular' mean and what does
it have to do with recovery? Gives the dictionary definition and then
explains it in the recovery context: how we welcome people
regardless of their faith or lack of it, how we don't do God-talk in our
meetings, and
how we rely on ourselves and each other's support to stay clean and
sober. Second in the three-part set.

trilogy. To get clean and sober, and stay that way, empower your
sober self. The desire to get clean and sober is the foundation of
recovery. The group process works by validating, enhancing and
reinforcing that desire within us, and supporting our effort to make the
sober place within us dominant.
