This interactive session demonstrates how a recovering individual can walk through the unavoidable trigger of grief in recovery while preventing relapse.

    Saturday, September 20th, 2025, this year's virtual 2025 ICSAA Zoom conference Black, Indigenous and People of Colour panel featured  Sri, Ramsey, and Hellena as panellists, joining Tracy (moderator).Our panel discusses their experiences with BIPOC-centered and BIPOC-only meetings: why they feel the need for these gatherings and who should be included. Q&A and shares following the panellists' shares. BIPOC is one of many affinity spaces for AA groups/meetings where members, sometimes marginalized, can feel safe to discuss their whole experience of both addiction and recovery without fear - discrimination is not an outside issue. While some BIPOC meetings are closed to people who self-identify, this ICSAA panel was open; allies and others could attend.  For future International Conference of Secular Alcoholics Anonymous events and other resources, visit https://aasecular.org  Secular AA is AA sobriety that is neither religious nor irreligious, focusing on the practical, humanist tools of Alcoholics Anonymous and borrowed from the wider recovery community.

      Rick B. loves his secular AA group; he's also a regular at one of the largest closed (AA members and people who think they have a problem with alcohol, only) discussion groups in the Ottawa area. There are many newcomers at this meeting. One breakout room is a "beginners group" focusing on Steps One, Two, and Three. As a scientist and educator, Rich offers an evidence-based, scientific method approach, which some atheists refer to as the "woo-woo" steps because of the religious language and ideas of Steps Two and Three.Links of Interest:S.O.A.A.R. 2025 siteMore about secular AAFind or contact the Beyond Belief Secular Group of Ottawa #recoveryposse, #secularAA, #addiction, #recovery, #12stepsSecular AA is AA sobriety that is neither religious nor irreligious, focusing on the practical, humanist tools of Alcoholics Anonymous and borrowed from the wider recovery community.

Some of us wouldn't have come to AA if there weren't a secular group to go to - it's vulnerable enough to face our alcohol use issues, secular AA was the only way we felt safe salvaging and honouring our worldview while we faced a drinking problem.

    This workshop focused on the primary dangers of broken anonymity in 12 step fellowships. Topics include the dangers of privacy breaches and how this can expose individuals to judgment or harm from employers, family, or the public. This breach can deter participation, erode trust among members, and lead to legal or professional consequences for affected individuals. Additionally, it undermines the reputation of 12 step fellowships and its effectiveness by compromising the confidentiality of members and providing a safe and supportive environment, crucial for recovery. Maintaining anonymity is not just a tradition but a fundamental principle designed to protect individuals and ensure the success of recovery programs.This recording is from ICSAA 2024, Sunday 1:30 PM, September 22, 2024, in Orlando, Florida, led by Tracy C. and Stephanie F.Secular AA is AA sobriety that is neither religious nor irreligious, focusing on the practical, humanist tools of Alcoholics Anonymous and borrowed from the wider recovery community.

    Many of us stay involved in "traditional" AA; in fact some of us only (or at least mainly) go to such meetings and are active in AA General service. Of these, some are "out there" as unbelievers, others not so much. Some see Secular AA as an attempt to evolve the culture of the fellowship we love from within rather than any kind of alternative. Many of us don't. Let's discuss tactics, war stories, experience and explore presuppositions and challenge them.This recording is from ICSAA 2024, Sunday 9:00 AM, September 22, 2024, in Orlando, Florida, led by Kurt R.Secular AA is AA sobriety that is neither religious nor irreligious, focusing on the practical, humanist tools of Alcoholics Anonymous and borrowed from the wider recovery community.
