I just want to talk more about what the program of Alcoholics Anonymous can give and has given to me, and I find it disgustingly easy to not drink alcohol.
Ever felt like the steps in recovery were more of a hurdle than a help? Brian N from Belfast knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of Sober Cast, recorded at the Broken Elevator meeting in May 2022, Brian dives into his personal journey through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). He candidly shares how he initially hated working the steps but eventually found them to be the cornerstone of his sobriety.
Brian's story is not just about quitting alcohol; it's about embracing a new way of life through the AA program. He highlights the importance of referencing the 'Big Book' and how it guided him through his darkest times. Brian also opens up about his relationship with a higher power and the pivotal role of the third step prayer in his recovery. He touches on the Step Promises and how they helped him overcome selfishness, greed, and dishonesty.
But it's not all serious; Brian's humor and honesty make his story relatable and inspiring. Whether you're new to AA or a long-time member, Brian's insights offer a fresh perspective on the power of the steps and the transformative potential of being of service to others.
