Get ready to be moved by Arisa B from Boston as she shares her incredible journey of sobriety since 1993. Recorded at The Fellowship of the Spirit Step 11 speaker series, Arisa dives into the significance of having the right attitude and consistently working on one's recovery.
She reflects on her early days in Alcoholics Anonymous, where seasoned members emphasized the importance of 'attitude adjustment.' Arisa's humorous anecdotes, like considering a doorknob as a higher power, highlight her initial resistance and eventual acceptance of AA principles. Arisa passionately discusses the role of steps 10 and 11 in her spiritual awakening, likening them to a 'circle around the triangle' that keeps her grounded and connected.
Her vivid imagery, such as the metaphor of a rodeo rider taming a wild horse, illustrates the ongoing effort required to maintain sobriety and spiritual growth. With a blend of humour and sincerity, Arisa encourages listeners to embrace a 'proper attitude' and work tirelessly on their recovery journey. Arisa's story is a testament to the power of perseverance and faith in the face of life's challenges.
Her insights into daily self-examination, prayer, and meditation offer valuable lessons for anyone seeking to strengthen their recovery. By sharing her personal experiences and spiritual insights, Arisa provides a beacon of hope and inspiration for those navigating their own paths to sobriety. Whether you're new to recovery or a seasoned veteran, Arisa's message is sure to resonate deeply and remind you of the transformative power of the AA program.
