What am I willing to do so that I don't drink?
In this insightful episode from the Big Deep South Convention, Josh S and Robin R explore the promises of Step Three in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). The discussion is led by Kelly R, who opens the session with a moment of silence followed by the serenity prayer, setting a tone of reflection and spiritual connection. Josh P, a recovered alcoholic, begins by reading the promises of Step Three from page 63 of the AA text.
He emphasizes how taking a position of faith can lead to remarkable changes in life, including peace of mind and a new sense of purpose. He shares his personal journey, highlighting the importance of maintaining a close relationship with God and performing His work well. Josh candidly discusses the challenges he faced in aligning his daily life with God's will, noting that while sobriety provides everything he needs—food, shelter, and clothes—it often diverges from what he desires.
Robin R, who has been sober since February 29, 1984, continues the conversation by addressing the emotional struggles associated with resentment. She shares a poignant story about dealing with a difficult person in her life, and how her spiritual beliefs helped her overcome feelings of unfairness and superiority. Robin underscores the significance of taking personal responsibility and seeking guidance from a higher power.
Throughout the episode, both speakers stress the transformative power of AA's teachings and the importance of community support. The session concludes with the Lord's Prayer, marking an end to a deeply moving discussion that offers hope and direction for those on the path to sobriety.
