Tugboat Annie's Spiritual Journey: Insights from the AA Appendix
The steps are just like a way to effectively reproduce a spiritual experience. But the biggest deficit with people who have a profound spiritual awakening without necessarily doing the work that's in the book is that there is an inability to transmit that to other people.
Ever wondered how a spiritual experience can change your path to sobriety? In this episode of 'A Podcast Greater Than Yourself', hosts John and Fred sit down with their friend Tugboat Annie to dive into the Spiritual Experience Appendix of the book Alcoholics Anonymous. Tugboat Annie opens up about her own profound spiritual awakening and how it played a pivotal role in her journey to sobriety.
The conversation doesn't stop there; they discuss the importance of working through the book's steps, the invaluable role of sponsors, and the different types of spiritual experiences people encounter. Tugboat Annie's unique perspective sheds light on how openness and willingness to change are key to achieving lasting sobriety. And for a fun twist, the episode even takes a detour to Food Corner, where they chat about vegan tacos.
Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this journey for a while, this episode offers both inspiration and practical advice.
