About The Open Path Project

The Open Path Project is a philosophical and spiritual companion for those navigating recovery—especially those who have struggled to connect with some of A.A.’s language or religious overtones. Launched in July 2025 by Guy F., this project offers a reimagining of the Twelve Steps through the lens of virtue ethics, Stoicism, Buddhism, and other timeless traditions.

A Space for Reflection and Practice

This isn’t about rejecting A.A.—it’s about expanding the conversation. We believe recovery is not about conversion, but connection. About living in alignment with courage, honesty, wisdom, and balance. If that resonates with you, you’re in the right place.

What You’ll Find Here

Subscribers get full access to essays, reflections, and reframed takes on the Steps—along with email updates when new content is published. You’ll also be the first to know when new resources, community features, or gatherings become available.

No Algorithm. No Dogma.

We deliver content directly to your inbox—no social media noise, no judgment, no need to believe in the “right” thing. Just honest exploration, shared experience, and steady guidance.

Walk With Us

Whether you’re new to recovery, a long-time seeker, or someone simply looking to live more deliberately, we welcome you. The Open Path is open to all.
