Jay S. takes you on a rollercoaster ride through his journey with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) in this captivating episode of Recovery Radio Network. Speaking candidly, Jay recounts his life-changing experiences since joining AA on the second day of May in 1979. From the highs of sobriety to the struggles with temptation, Jay's story is both raw and uplifting.
He shares his unique perspective on living in Sedona, Arizona, a place he whimsically describes as existing in the 'fifth dimension', far removed from the mundane 'third dimension' of everyday life. Jay's humour and honesty shine through as he talks about his initial reluctance to embrace AA's spiritual aspects and how he eventually found solace and transformation in the program.
You'll hear about his encounters with colourful characters like Butcher Joe and the profound impact they had on his recovery journey. Jay also touches on important milestones within AA, such as the adoption of the 'God Word' pamphlet for atheists and agnostics, emphasising that AA's only requirement is a desire to stop drinking. This episode is a testament to the power of community and the extraordinary support system within AA.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the AA experience, Jay's story offers valuable insights and a hearty dose of inspiration. Tune in to hear how one man's journey can resonate with so many and why clearing the decks and loving each other fearlessly can lead to an incredible life.
