Any alcoholic capable of honestly facing his problems in the light of our experience can recover, provided he does not close his mind to all spiritual concepts.
In this engaging episode of AA on Air, Wellington Access Radio welcomes the Wellington Spiritual Concepts Group to share their profound journeys through recovery from alcoholism. The episode opens with the Serenity Prayer, setting a tone of reflection and hope. The Wellington Spiritual Concepts Group, known for their early Sunday meetings in Roseneath, emphasizes the importance of spiritual experiences in overcoming addiction. Leila introduces a reading from the AA Big Book, discussing spiritual experiences as a vital part of recovery.
Contrary to some beliefs, these experiences do not always involve sudden, dramatic changes but often evolve slowly, allowing individuals to gradually face their issues. The discussion underscores the importance of being open to spiritual concepts in achieving sobriety. Personal stories shared by group members, including Jeremy and others, highlight the varied challenges faced by individuals on their recovery journeys.
From dealing with childhood trauma and relationship struggles to finding strength in community and fellowship, these narratives are both poignant and inspirational. Jeremy's story reveals the pivotal moments that shaped his sobriety, emphasizing the crucial realization that picking up a drink would worsen his situation. The episode also touches upon the role of community support, with members finding solace and guidance within the AA fellowship.
Resources available on aa.org.nz offer further assistance to those seeking help in the Wellington region, including information on local meetings and support networks. Listeners are invited to attend the Wellington Sunday Spiritual Concepts meeting, a welcoming space for anyone in the region looking for support in their recovery journey. As the program concludes, the Serenity Prayer is recited once more, reinforcing the episode's themes of acceptance, courage, and wisdom.
Wellington Access Radio provides a platform for these vital conversations, funded by New Zealand On Air, ensuring that voices from the community continue to be heard.
