God's will for me, as an alcoholic, was: don't drink. But I really believe now that that's where the meaning and the purpose come in sobriety, that it makes a difference not only to me, but it actually makes a difference to god whether I am following his will, becoming his friend, starting to rely upon him and the world won't be the same.
Imagine starting each day with a conversation, not just with yourself, but with a higher power. In this episode, Father Bill W., an Episcopal priest and recovering alcoholic, takes listeners on a journey back to the spiritual roots of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). He sheds light on the nearly forgotten practice of Two Way Prayer, a method used by AA pioneers to seek daily guidance from God.
Father Bill argues that by reviving this practice, individuals in recovery can find deeper spiritual connection and clarity in their lives. He discusses the four standards of honesty, purity, unselfishness, and love as pillars for living a spiritually guided life. Through prayer and meditation, surrendering our will to a higher power can transform not just our recovery journey but also our everyday decision-making.
Whether you're familiar with AA or new to the concept of Two Way Prayer, this episode offers practical insights and spiritual wisdom that can enrich your path to sobriety.
