But most of us are kind of in the middle of the bridge, trudging the bridge of reason, trying to get over to the shore of faith.
Imagine standing on a bridge, caught between two worlds – one of cold logic and another of warm faith. In this episode of Sober Cast, Marty J from Vancouver, British Columbia, takes us on a journey across that very bridge. With 43 years of sobriety under his belt, Marty shares his profound experience of moving from the realm of reason to the comforting embrace of faith.
Recorded at an event in January 2020, his story is both enlightening and deeply personal. Marty touches on some pivotal themes that resonate with anyone on the path to recovery. He talks about alcoholism not just as a condition but as a disease that affects every facet of life. Through the lens of his own experiences, Marty delves into how Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) provided a lifeline, offering tools and community support that were instrumental in his journey.
One of the standout moments in this episode is when Marty speaks about 'trudging the bridge of reason'. He paints a vivid picture of how many in recovery find themselves navigating this bridge, striving to reach the other side where faith and hope reside. It's a sentiment that will hit home for many listeners who feel caught in that in-between space.
Marty also shares valuable insights into the history and principles of AA, emphasizing the importance of humility and the act of carrying the message forward. His reflections are not just about his own journey but serve as a beacon for others who might be struggling with similar challenges. This episode is more than just a talk; it's a heartfelt narrative that encourages everyone to keep moving forward, no matter where they are on their bridge.
