If we don’t watch ourselves both within and without, we won’t know what to pray for; but if we’ll learn to watch, we’ll begin to pray like AA’s pioneers.
Imagine having a roadmap for daily self-reflection and spiritual growth. In this episode, Father Bill W., an Episcopal priest who has been in recovery since 1972, shares his wisdom on the significance of 'watch & pray' in Step Ten of AA Originals. Father Bill dives into how continuously taking personal inventory and promptly admitting when one is wrong can lead to profound personal transformation.
He highlights the often-overlooked practice of Two Way Prayer, a method that AA pioneers used to deepen their spiritual connection and enhance their recovery journey. By distinguishing between the initial surrender in Step Three and the ongoing daily surrender, Father Bill provides listeners with practical insights on maintaining purity and avoiding contamination in their lives. He also introduces the four standards of daily surrender, offering a structured approach to integrating spirituality into everyday life.
Whether you're new to recovery or a seasoned member of a 12-Step fellowship, this episode offers valuable guidance on how to connect with a higher power and find inner peace. Tune in to discover why Father Bill believes that focusing on the last three steps can encapsulate all the principles and practices needed for lasting sobriety.
