My sobriety without question is an unearned gift. I am sober today, but I don't deserve to be sober today.
In this heartfelt episode, Paige F. shares her journey through the lens of grace and sobriety. She begins by expressing her gratitude for being part of Alcoholics Anonymous, recognizing it as a life-saving fellowship that has given her the gift of sobriety since November 17, 2009.

This sense of grace has been pivotal in her recovery, reminding her that sobriety requires daily actions and commitments. She highlights the importance of having a home group, sponsors, and sponsees, illustrating how these relationships support her journey. The episode delves into the theme of service, drawing inspiration from Dr. Bob's description of love and service.

Throughout the episode, Paige's sincerity shines through as she encourages listeners to cherish the gift of sobriety and participate actively in their recovery journey, making amends, serving others, and spreading the message of hope.
