I believe that God puts the people in my life who he thinks are going to help me to stay sober today, and I am amazed more than you that I have years because alcohol for me was. You know, it was the thing that I thought made me happy, and then I ended up finding a power greater than myself, and that was the thing.
Have you ever wondered how helping others can aid your own recovery journey? Mary Beth S. dives into this very topic in a heartfelt episode of Sober Cast. Speaking at the 'A Women's Perspective' event hosted by the Spiritual Awakenings Group in Bernardsville, New Jersey back in 2004, Mary Beth brings a wealth of experience and wisdom to the table.
She delves into the significance of sponsorship within Alcoholics Anonymous, breaking down the three stages of sponsorship and how they can guide someone through their path to sobriety. Mary Beth also touches on the bedevilment exercise, a tool that helps individuals identify and connect with their higher power. Her discussion doesn't stop there; she goes on to explore the process of making amends and why it's a crucial step in maintaining long-term sobriety.
Throughout her talk, she offers practical advice on handling triggers and avoiding situations that might lead to relapse. But perhaps the most touching part of Mary Beth's story is her emphasis on community and fellowship. She shares personal anecdotes that highlight the importance of having a supportive network, showing that recovery is not a solitary journey but one enriched by the presence of others who understand and share your struggles.
If you're looking for inspiration and practical tips to enhance your own recovery or support someone else's, this episode is a must-listen. Mary Beth's insights remind us all that the act of helping others can be a powerful catalyst for our own healing.
