Finding Faith: Mrs. Jones on Higher Power and Recovery in AA

It always goes back to the information in this book that connects me to a higher power, and that higher power is everything, everything.
Have you ever wondered how a higher power fits into the journey of recovery? In this episode of 'That's NOT in the book!', Agent X sits down with Mrs. Jones to unpack page 55 of Alcoholics Anonymous' Big Book. Mrs. Jones shares her deeply personal journey, revealing how connecting with a higher power has been a cornerstone of her sobriety. For her, this spiritual connection is 'everything, everything'.
The conversation dives into the phenomenon of craving and the relentless need for more that many struggling with alcoholism experience. Mrs. Jones recounts her own battles with the urge to drink, even when she had promised herself to stop after just one or two. She emphasizes the importance of staying present and focusing on the now, rather than worrying about future temptations. Agent X and Mrs. Jones also discuss the idea of spiritual liberation from alcoholism.
They explore how faith in a higher power can help individuals rise above their struggles and find peace. The episode highlights the crucial role of sponsorship and the power of helping others, noting that even virtual connections can be transformative in the recovery process. By the end of their chat, Agent X encourages listeners to keep an open mind and try different approaches to find their path to sobriety.
This episode is a heartfelt discussion that offers valuable insights for anyone on the journey to recovery, whether you're new to AA or have been on this path for years.
