But what I've come to understand is all of those things that I've done, all of those ways that I've harmed others, all those ways I've harmed myself, all those ways I've lived from my false beliefs of separation, fear, not good enough better than have brought me to a place of being able to be present for another person when going through any of that with far less judgment than I've ever had in my entire life.
Ever wondered how someone can transform fear and shame into a powerful journey of recovery? In this episode of Sober Cast, TJ from San Francisco shares his story as the closing speaker at the Living Sober Roundup, the oldest LGBTQ Roundup in the US. Held in July 2014, TJ's narrative is a testament to the power of the 12-Step Program and the importance of being present for others.
What makes TJ's story particularly fascinating is that he was introduced to sobriety by someone who had been sober for just 10 days. This unusual beginning set TJ on a path that involved confronting deep-seated fears and false beliefs about not being good enough. With the guidance of his sponsor, Mary Helen, TJ learned to navigate the steps with a gentle approach, emphasizing accountability and cleaning up past actions.
TJ's journey wasn't easy, but it led him to a profound spiritual awakening. He talks about how this transformation allowed him to be present for others with far less judgment than he ever had before. His story is not just about overcoming personal demons; it's about finding a way to live in the moment and embrace the unknown. If you're looking for inspiration and practical insights into recovery, TJ's experience offers both.
His reflections on accountability, spiritual growth, and the importance of community support make this episode a must-listen. Tune in to hear how the 12-Step Program can change lives and find encouragement to take your own first step towards recovery.
