Acceptance is the answer to all my problems.
Imagine growing up in a home where someone could see the past, present, and future. This was Mary L.'s reality, but her story takes a turn when she has her first drink at just 13 years old. In this episode of the Big Book Awakening podcast, Mary shares how her life spiraled out of control due to alcohol and how acceptance became her lifeline to recovery.
She candidly discusses how fighting against her circumstances only made things worse, leading to a breaking point where she had to confront her alcoholism head-on. Acceptance, she explains, was not just about acknowledging her addiction but also about embracing a higher power and the support of a community. Mary's journey is a powerful testament to the transformative power of acceptance in the Twelve Steps program.
She dives into her initial resistance to the concept of a higher power and how prayer and meditation eventually became crucial tools in her recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is. It's filled with raw honesty, hope, and practical insights that can help guide you on your own path to sobriety.
