Ivor D's Journey Through Step 2: Finding Faith and Fellowship in AA
Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path.
Picture this: It's Halloween weekend, and instead of donning a costume, Ivor D from Kilbride, Scotland, is sharing his heartfelt story at the 2020 Mount Baker Roundup. In this episode of Sober Cast, Ivor dives into the significance of Step 2 in Alcoholics Anonymous, which is all about coming to believe that a power greater than ourselves can restore us to sanity. For Ivor, this step was a turning point in his battle against alcoholism.
He opens up about his struggles with loneliness and isolation and how the fellowship of AA and working the steps with a sponsor helped him find a spiritual solution. Ivor's journey wasn't a smooth ride; he faced challenges like the 'pink cloud' phase and the ongoing need for support. But through it all, he learned to let go of his ego and surrender to a higher power, which brought him freedom from addiction.
This episode isn't just about spirituality; it's also about the importance of community, attending meetings, and building relationships within AA. If you're looking for a story that blends faith, fellowship, and the raw realities of recovery, this one's for you.
