Gary K on Living Step 12: Integrating AA Principles into Everyday Life

What aa boils down to is be where you say you're going to be doing what you said you were going to do when you said you were going to do it, and I cannot think of a better description of practicing these principles in all my affairs.
Ever wondered how to truly live the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous in your daily life? In this episode of 'Sober Speak', Gary K offers his unique perspective on Step 12, emphasizing the importance of practicing these principles in all our affairs. Gary dives into the significance of finding a sponsor in the right location and highlights how many of us often confuse consequences with problems.
He shares valuable AA wisdom, underscoring that recovery is something to be experienced, not just learned, and that it's crucial to build your life around your recovery journey. Gary also touches on the importance of developing early rituals in recovery, suggesting that the word 'spiritual' can be broken down into 'ritual'. These practices, he believes, can strengthen and confirm good habits until they become second nature.
One of the standout moments in this episode is Gary's reflection on his own spiritual awakening, which was sparked by witnessing a newcomer gradually surrender to the program. This experience reaffirmed the AA saying, 'we keep what we have by giving it away'. Throughout the episode, Gary's passion for helping others shines through as he articulates complex principles in a simple and relatable manner.
He encourages listeners to find peace of mind through the AA program and to stay true to its principles in all aspects of life. Whether you're new to AA or a long-time member, Gary's insights offer a fresh perspective on integrating recovery into everyday living. Tune in to 'Sober Speak' for an inspiring and informative discussion that underscores the power of community and the importance of sharing our experiences, strength, and hope.
