Victor S.'s talk at the FWOL group on Zoom is a heartfelt reflection on his journey in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) during challenging times. He begins by expressing gratitude for the privilege of being part of AA, even amidst quarantine. Victor acknowledges the importance of humility and the realization that he is not bigger than the collective goal of AA. He shares his appreciation for his wife, who has been supportive throughout his sobriety journey.
This support is essential, especially during periods when physical meetings are replaced by virtual ones. Victor discusses the significance of maintaining a 'right-sized' perspective, highlighting the value of small, everyday actions such as putting on a suit and tie for a meeting or appreciating clean socks. These routines are not just rituals but reminders of personal growth and transformation.
Victor candidly shares his experiences of feeling isolated, yet he recognizes the community provided by AA as a source of spiritual companionship. He reflects on past hardships and the transformative power of desperation as a motivator for change. The teachings of AA emphasize the importance of developing a sound and sane ideal for future relationships, a principle that Victor has embraced, leading to a fulfilling marriage.
He acknowledges the role of AA in shaping his personal development and the importance of being of service to others. Victor's talk underscores the profound impact of AA on his life, offering hope and guidance to those navigating their own journeys in sobriety.
