Pat C.'s Path to Acceptance and Sobriety

Trusting God's plan for me in this life has been a process of discovery. Because this problem that you have, whether it's paying a bill or taking care of a child who's sick, or replacing a job, or get yourself back and forth to a job without a car, like all those problems and struggles are here in our lives, whether we drink or not.
Pat C. takes center stage in this episode of AA Grapevine's Podcast, where he opens up about his journey to recovery and the pivotal role acceptance has played in his sobriety. Pat reveals how helping others not only keeps him committed to the program but also enriches his own life. He shares, 'My life is a whole galaxy better than when I first got here', underscoring the profound changes he's experienced since joining AA.
The episode also features a special segment, #Heardinameeting, where listeners share memorable quotes from their AA meetings. Pat candidly discusses his initial fears about being brainwashed and his need for support to overcome his addiction. It was through attending AA meetings and assisting others that he found a renewed sense of purpose and direction. The conversation delves into the everyday challenges of staying sober, from handling tough situations to trusting in a higher power's plan.
Pat emphasizes patience and the importance of allowing things to unfold naturally, even when outcomes aren't as expected. This episode offers a heartfelt reminder that recovery is attainable and that acceptance and service are key to finding true meaning and purpose in life.
