I've got to stay close to God. I've got to sacrifice 20 minutes. Some days three. Some days five. And I've got to work with other alcoholics? I don't think so. Established on such a footing, well, actually, let me move on.
Ever wondered what it truly means to let go and find freedom in recovery? In this episode of Sober Cast, Scott S takes us through a workshop from the 2009 Montclair New Jersey Big Book Workshop, focusing on Step 3 - Surrender and Compliance. Scott, a 'recovered alcoholic', shares his journey of coming to terms with his powerlessness over alcohol and the daily practices that keep his ego in check.
Through personal stories and heartfelt reflections, he illustrates the profound changes that come from relinquishing self-will and allowing a higher power to guide his life. This episode offers a deep dive into the spiritual awakening that is central to AA's principles, providing listeners with both inspiration and practical insights for their own path to sobriety.
