Episode 233: The 12-Step Guide for Skeptics w/ Arlina Allen
In episode 233 of the Sober Vibes podcast, Courtney welcomes back Arlina Allen to the show, and they discuss her new book, The 12-Step Guide for Skeptics.
The 12-Step Guide for Skeptics breaks down the most common myths and misconceptions that cause people to resist 12-step programs, offering a compassionate, clear-eyed reframe of terms like “powerless,” “God,” and “alcoholic.”
You’ll hear how she redefines these concepts to support recovery instead of scaring people away, and why just attending meetings isn’t the same as actually doing the steps. With her trademark honesty and no-BS approach, Arlina also opens up about the shame she felt at 20 years sober and how recovery continues to evolve long after quitting drinking.
Whether you’re sober-curious, stuck in the moderation cycle, or frustrated with traditional recovery language, this episode will give you permission to take what works, leave what doesn’t, and reclaim your sobriety your way.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:
- How Arlena’s 31 years of sobriety shaped her unique view on recovery
- Why she calls herself “recovery promiscuous” and encourages trying every tool
- The real meaning of “powerless over alcohol” and why it’s not a weakness
- How to navigate the "God" and "higher power" concept if you’re skeptical
- The danger of dismissing 12-step programs based on people, not principles
