Author and musician Joe C. is more than a bit of a legend in recovery circles. Sure, he’s been sober for over four decades but that’s not why he’s known. He’s known because he manages to question 12-step without ever attacking it—and he does it in a way that speaks to many. The author of the daily reflection book, Beyond Belief: Agnostic Musings for 12 Step Life, Joe also runs Rebellion Dogs, a site which includes his radio show, blog posts and information about his various conferences across the globe where he shares his wisdom. In this episode—our 100th, btw!—we discuss coming to AA at the age of 14, New York vs. LA vs. San Francisco recovery and how the word “yellow” (not to mention the word “agnostic”) means different things to different people, among many other topics.
