In this episode of Sober Cast, you'll be transported to the 2014 Back to the Basics event in Coppet, Switzerland, for an enriching workshop on 'Growing Along Spiritual Lines'. Tim and Laura, both seasoned speakers and members of AA, share their journeys and experiences from the Big Book, shedding light on the spiritual growth that comes with following the 12 Steps.
Laura starts the session by discussing how she initially struggled to understand the spiritual aspect of AA, but gradually realised that the 12 Steps were her path to a deeper spiritual life. She candidly talks about her selfishness and how working on self-sacrifice for others has been pivotal in her recovery. Laura's anecdotes, like her experience with a ball of yarn in a rehab workshop, bring a touch of lightness to the serious subject of spiritual growth.
Tim follows with his own reflections, highlighting the importance of helping others as a way to maintain one's own sobriety. He shares how service to others has not only kept him sober but also brought unexpected joy and fulfilment. Tim's humorous take on everyday situations, like his loud dishwashing episode, adds a relatable and entertaining element to the discussion.
The episode concludes with practical advice on how to carry the message of AA to others, emphasising the importance of patience, tolerance, and love. Whether you're new to AA or a long-time member, this workshop offers valuable insights and inspiration for anyone looking to grow spiritually. Tune in for a blend of heartfelt stories, practical tips, and a good dose of humour.
