Give up control of my life, and what am I going to be? That doesn't work for me, and the people in the groups that I was in sometimes would talk about their perception of god or conception of god, and they would use names that I was like not going to go there.
Ever felt lost trying to connect with a higher power? Cindy from Virginia knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of the AA Grapevine's Podcast, hosts Don and Sam chat with Cindy about her early battles with the concept of a higher power. Cindy opens up about how her childhood experiences with church and religion initially put her off.
Yet, through the fellowship and support of AA, she found her own unique understanding of a higher power that brought her peace and strength in sobriety. Cindy’s story is a testament to the power of community and personal growth. She shares how the welcoming arms of AA helped her redefine her spiritual beliefs, making them work for her rather than against her.
This episode also marks the debut of the new segment, 'Hashtag Heard in a Meeting', where listeners can enjoy and reflect on inspiring phrases shared during AA meetings. Whether you're struggling with the idea of a higher power or just looking for some inspiration, Cindy’s journey offers a heartfelt reminder that everyone’s path to sobriety is different. Tune in to hear how she overcame her struggles and embraced a new sense of spirituality that supports her recovery.
