Do you know how powerful it is to understand, through the steps of alcoholics anonymous, that joy is a choice, that freedom is a choice, it's a choice.
What does it mean to truly live in a new and wonderful world of sobriety? In this episode of Sober Cast, Olis S shares her journey that began in 1987 and continues to inspire many. Recorded at the New Jersey Bronx Big Book Study meeting, Olis dives into the importance of spiritual growth, guided by the Big Book, and the power of choice in finding joy and freedom. For Olis, every AA meeting is a chance to grow spiritually.
She never attends without her Big Book, a pad, and a pen, emphasizing that these meetings are the foundation for everything else in her life. She urges newcomers and those struggling to find joy and freedom to seek a guide who can help them navigate their path. Olis also highlights the transformative nature of AA's inventory work. By examining her resentments, fears, and past misconducts, she finds a deeper understanding of herself and others.
This self-evaluation, though challenging, is a crucial step towards personal growth and helping others. The power of choice is another key theme in Olis's story. Through the steps of AA, she has learned that joy and freedom are not just decisions but active choices. She believes that the problem lies in the mind and that choosing differently is the solution.
Her story is a testament to the idea that with the right support and mindset, anyone can live in a new and wonderful world of sobriety.
