Quite often a spiritual experience is just awareness of where you're at and where you've been, and you can't have that when you have contempt prior to investigation.
Ever wondered what sponsors get out of helping others in AA? In this episode of '2 Sober Chicks', Lisa and Julie tackle this very question by flipping through the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, landing on the chapter 'Working with Others'. They dive into the initial skepticism many feel about sponsorship and share their personal journeys to understanding its true value.
Lisa opens up about her early struggles with hope and commitment in recovery, while Julie talks about the serenity and peace that come from following the steps and embracing acceptance. The hosts highlight how personal growth and spiritual awakenings are not just individual experiences but collective ones that benefit the entire recovery community. By helping others, they find that they help themselves too.
Tune in to hear Lisa and Julie's candid conversation about the mutual rewards of sponsorship and the deeper connections it fosters in sobriety.
