Prayer and meditation had always been kind of difficult for me. I was never very good at it, and once I began reading their books and studying their materials, a very different practice emerged. That was really something very new for me and changed my life, and I hope it may change yours as well.
Ever wondered about the spiritual backbone of AA and how it can deepen your recovery? In this episode, Father Bill W., an Episcopal priest with decades of sobriety, takes you on a journey back to the origins of the 12 Steps. He uncovers the lost 11th Step practice of Two Way Prayer, a transformative method of morning devotion and quiet time that was a cornerstone for early AA members.
Drawing from the Oxford Group, the spiritual movement that influenced AA's co-founders, Father Bill reveals how these practices can offer a richer, more fulfilling path to sobriety today. He shares personal anecdotes and quotes from early AA pioneers like Henrietta D. and Ann, Dr. Bob's wife, to illustrate the profound impact of these spiritual routines.
The episode also highlights the shift from these foundational practices to the modern emphasis on meetings, suggesting that revisiting these roots could enhance your recovery journey. Tune in to explore how integrating these timeless spiritual exercises can connect you to the 'Great Reality' within and provide a deeper sense of purpose and peace.
