I cannot tell the truth from the false. I believe my own BS and I'm drinking. But working this program has changed everything for me.
In this compelling episode, Linda B, a recovered alcoholic from Bristol, UK, shares her profound journey of recovery and personal growth. Speaking at the PPG Webster Foundation Meeting, Linda reflects on her path from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body to finding spiritual healing through the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) program. She discusses the significance of saying yes to service, a principle instilled in her by her sponsor, Kim.
This act of service and commitment has played a pivotal role in her recovery process. Linda candidly recounts the emotional challenges faced during her early meetings, often feeling utterly hopeless. She recalls her first encounter with AA 30 years ago, highlighting how the program's core principles of unity, service, and recovery have guided her journey. Linda emphasizes that alcoholism is not just about the substance but involves a deep spiritual illness, which requires a holistic approach to healing.
A central theme of Linda's talk is the transformative power of the AA program steps, particularly steps four through nine, which focus on clearing the wreckage of the past and making amends. Linda shares a personal story about her relationship with her son, illustrating the challenges and eventual healing that can occur when working the program diligently. Despite initial resistance, her commitment to the program led to a renewed and strengthened relationship.
Linda's experience underscores the importance of faith, community support, and continuous personal development in maintaining sobriety. She highlights the joy of sponsoring other women and helping them reconnect with their children, a process that has brought profound joy and fulfillment to her life. This episode serves as a powerful testament to the resilience and hope that can be found through recovery programs and the enduring impact on family relationships.
Linda's heartfelt sharing inspires listeners to embrace the lessons of recovery, offering hope and guidance for those facing similar struggles. Her journey is a beacon of hope for anyone seeking to overcome the challenges of alcoholism and find a path to spiritual and emotional wellbeing.
