Description
Many Paths to Spirituality (Item P-84) is a General Service Conference-approved pamphlet published by Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.). It is designed to address the misconception that A.A. is a religious program.
Priced around $0.45 to $1.00, this 20-page booklet contains personal stories and sharing from A.A. members across a boundless range of beliefs and non-beliefs. It highlights how A.A. functions as a spiritual organization rather than a religious one, featuring paths to sobriety grounded in:
-
- Buddhism and Islam
- Native American faith traditions
- Atheism and Agnosticism (e.g., using the recovery group itself or another secular concept as a “higher power”)
The pamphlet provides a welcoming and inclusive look at how recovering alcoholics can navigate the 12-Step program in a way that aligns with their personal worldview.
