There's just so much power in love and service. I've learned that over the years and that was a lesson learned.
Ever wondered how love and service can shape a secular path to sobriety? This episode of Beyond Belief Sobriety takes you on a heartfelt journey through the experiences of AA Beyond Belief, recorded during the Paseo Group’s annual holiday Alkathon in Kansas City, Missouri. Held on Christmas Day, this gathering brings together people from various AA groups across the city for round-the-clock meetings, creating a unique space for sharing and support.
AA Beyond Belief starts by honoring Kansas City's first truly inclusive AA group and revisits Dr. Bob Smith's famous quote on love and service. He recounts his personal journey to sobriety, emphasizing the crucial role of AA meetings in his recovery. One particularly moving story involves his first-step call to a man in the emergency room, showcasing the profound impact of reaching out to others in need.
The episode also tackles the tough realities of setbacks in sobriety and stresses the importance of staying committed to one's recovery journey. AA Beyond Belief doesn't shy away from addressing the issue of racism within AA, advocating for unity and inclusivity regardless of differing beliefs. Wrapping up with a message of hope, this episode is a testament to the transformative power of love, service, and community in sustaining sobriety.
Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration.
