Paula D.'s Lifeline: Connecting Elderly AA Members During Covid-19
“I increased my spiritual work, I increased my sponsoring work, I increased my meetings, even though they were on zoom, many of them, and I just realized that, no matter what comes down the pipeline- and this wasn't very serious, but it did hurt me emotionally- that I would be okay, that aa would be there and the tools would be there, and that gave me confidence and strength.”
Imagine being isolated during a pandemic, cut off from the very support system that keeps you grounded. That's what two elderly AA members faced during the height of Covid-19. In this episode of AA Grapevine's Podcast, Paula D. shares her heartwarming story of stepping in to bridge that gap. She recounts the challenges and triumphs of helping these members access AA meetings when they needed it most.
Paula's journey is not just about technology; it's about human connection, resilience, and the unyielding spirit of community support. Alongside this, she offers practical advice on how to get published in the Grapevine, adding another layer of inspiration. Through her own experiences with sobriety, Paula emphasizes the importance of staying teachable, deepening spiritual practices, and the invaluable role of sponsorship.
This episode is a testament to the power of AA and the strength found in unity, even in the toughest times.
