If you’ve ever thought about exploring a 12-step program but felt hesitant—whether because of the language, the concept of "God," or the label "alcoholic"—this episode is for you.

As someone who has my own doubts about following a 12-step program on my path to sobriety, I get it. It can feel intimidating, outdated, or just not like “your thing.”

But here’s the deal: while it’s not the only path to sobriety, there’s a lot of value in the 12 steps when you look past the barriers and approach it on your own terms.

That’s why I invited my friend Arlina Allen to the podcast. She’s a coach, podcaster, and author of The 12-Step Guide for Skeptics: Clearing Up Common Misconceptions of a Path to Sobriety. In her book, Arlina dives into the objections that keep people out of 12-step programs and reframes them in ways that feel modern, accessible, and, most importantly, doable.
