In this episode of AA on Air, Victoria leads an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting broadcasted on Wellington Access Radio. The session is an opportunity for individuals struggling with alcoholism to connect, share their experiences, and find support within the community. Victoria opens the meeting with the Serenity Prayer, a foundational element in AA meetings, which calls for acceptance, courage, and wisdom.
The meeting unfolds with readings from the AA preamble and Chapter 5, 'How It Works', which outlines the steps necessary for recovery and the importance of honesty and commitment to the program. These steps guide individuals through a process of self-examination, amends, and spiritual awakening, emphasizing the need for a desire to stop drinking as the sole requirement for membership.
Participants share personal stories of their journey through addiction, reflecting on times of struggle and the transformative power of the AA program. They discuss how meditation, mindfulness, and daily reflections have become integral to their sobriety, helping them navigate life without resorting to alcohol. The episode highlights the role of community support in recovery, with mentions of local meetings such as 'Sunday Reflections Miramar'.
These gatherings provide a space for continuous learning and support, where members can listen to 'old timers' and gain insights from their experiences. With reflections on the promises of AA, the meeting concludes on a hopeful note, reiterating that those who work for sobriety will find a new freedom and happiness. Victoria encourages listeners to visit local meetings and engage with the community for ongoing support and guidance.
