For me, nature always brings me back, because my ego will take credit for everything right, except I can't tell you that I made those trees, you know. The fact is is that I don't know god's plan. But it constantly talks about saying: lay aside your prejudice, lay aside your old ideas, lay aside what everything that you think is right and just be open to whatever comes.
What happens when you hit a wall in your journey to sobriety? Ann Marie and Dave might have some answers. Recorded at the 4th Annual Firing Line Big Book Workshop in Warwick, New York, back in 2012, this episode of Sober Cast dives deep into Steps 2 and 3 of Alcoholics Anonymous. Ann Marie opens up about her initial struggles with accepting a Higher Power, recounting how her sponsor guided her through the complex emotions and skepticism she faced.
She stresses the importance of setting aside old prejudices and being open to new ideas. Dave, on the other hand, shares how nature serves as his sanctuary whenever his ego starts to cloud his judgment. He also delves into the tricky territory of making amends and managing expectations, offering practical advice on how to navigate these challenges.
Both speakers emphasize the role of reason and practical tools in working the steps, making this episode a must-listen for anyone grappling with these pivotal stages in AA. Whether you're new to the program or a seasoned member, Ann Marie and Dave's insights provide valuable guidance on embracing a Higher Power and moving forward in your recovery journey.
