No matter what happens, no matter what our achievements, we're still good people inside.
Ever wondered what it takes to bring hope and change to one of the toughest environments? In this episode of the Sober.Coffee Podcast, Mike and Glenn sit down with Emil, a dedicated AA volunteer, to hear his compelling story. Emil shares his journey of recovery and how it led him to perform 12th Step work within the Chicago Jail System.
It's not just about sharing his own experiences of strength and hope; Emil's mission is to 'Put A Book In Jail'. For every AA 24 Hour Coin purchased, an AA Big Book is given to a detainee, providing them with a crucial resource for their own path to sobriety. The conversation dives into the gritty reality of holding AA meetings in county jails, where detainees often meet him with hostility and skepticism.
But Emil's unwavering commitment and belief in the transformative power of the 12th step shine through. He talks candidly about the importance of spirituality in recovery and finding a higher power, emphasizing that self-esteem and overcoming challenges are key components of staying sober. Mike and Glenn attest to the quality of Emil's AA coins, describing them as the best they've ever seen. More importantly, they highlight the significant impact Emil's work is having on the lives of those behind bars.
If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on how to make a difference in the world of recovery, this episode is a must-listen. Emil's dedication is a powerful reminder that even in the most challenging environments, hope and change are possible.
