When I have time for the newcomer, when I have time to take that phone call, it gives me a sense of well-being and probably, I guess, for lack of a better word, self-esteem, that I just didn't know how to get before aa.
What does it mean to truly carry the message of recovery? In this episode of 'Sober Speak', David G from Frisco, TX, opens up about his journey through Alcoholics Anonymous and the transformative power of helping newcomers. David dives into how assisting others has given him a sense of purpose and self-worth he never found before AA. He reflects on the spiritual awakening that comes with working the 12 steps and the crucial role of a sponsor in this process.
David emphasizes the importance of humility and shares candid stories about the challenges and rewards of sobriety. One memorable takeaway from this episode is David's belief that helping others can be a lifeline for both the helper and the newcomer. He says, 'When someone is struggling and asks for help, it’s not just about the message I share; it’s about feeling like I can be useful to them, that I have something valuable to offer'.
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of the benefits of reaching out to others and the profound impact it can have on both parties involved. If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on how to support others in their recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen.
