Fear of people stopped being a thing because I know that any meeting that I go to is my home. Any place where there are other alcoholics, those are my family. And all I have to do is tell them that I, you know, believe that just for today, I'm an alcoholic. If they too are working a good program in a spiritual place, they'll go, hey, well, come hang out with us for a little bit. You'll be all right. I'm confident you're going to be all right.
What happens when external pressure becomes a catalyst for change? In this episode of the AA Grapevine's Podcast, Mark from Cincinnati, Ohio, shares his compelling story of how legal troubles pushed him into the arms of Alcoholics Anonymous. Initially resistant, Mark eventually embraced the fellowship, finding his true self through the transformative power of service work.
He opens up about how getting involved in AA activities not only saved him physically and spiritually but also helped him conquer his fear of people. Mark's journey underscores the significance of sponsorship, unity, and community support in recovery. Hosts Don and Sam keep the conversation lively and engaging, offering their own insights and fostering a sense of belonging. This episode is a heartfelt reminder of the incredible support system within AA and the life-changing impact of service work.
