Topic: We Constantly Remind Ourselves We Are No Longer Running The Show - Step 11

How often do we find ourselves trying to control everything around us? Jimmy A from New Jersey brings this question to the forefront in his compelling talk on Step 11, reminding us that we're no longer running the show. In this episode, Jimmy shares his experiences from a Zoom meeting hosted by the Fellowship of the Spirit speaker series, exploring the idea of relinquishing control and embracing a life guided by a higher power.

He takes listeners on a journey through his past struggles with alcoholism, the chaos of living on the streets, and the transformation he experienced through Alcoholics Anonymous. Jimmy's storytelling is both heartfelt and humorous, as he reflects on the dualistic thinking that often plagues those in recovery—the pendulum of emotions swinging from one extreme to another. His anecdotes about his childhood, growing up with an alcoholic father, and his own battles with addiction are raw and honest.

Through sharing these personal stories, Jimmy illustrates the importance of vulnerability and connection with others in the recovery process. As he talks about working the steps, he emphasises that sobriety is not just about abstinence but involves spiritual growth and serving others. His message is clear: to find true freedom, one must step into the sunlight of the spirit and be willing to walk through the darkness. Jimmy's insights offer hope and encouragement for anyone on a sobriety journey.
