If my higher power keeps showing up, turning up, giving me the evidence that I am safe and protected, placed in a position of neutrality, my weird ass is still sober after all these years, then me, as my authentic self, is enough.
In the latest episode of 'That's Not in the Book,' Agent X and Georgia Boy engage in a candid discussion about their experiences with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and the journey of sobriety.
