One of the most incredible things that has come out of this pandemic has been the growth of the fellowship that I've had around me, and that is both from finding like-minded, spiritual people who are already walking on this path and being able to learn from their experience and speak to them about the things that they're doing, and it's also been from finding suffering unrecovered alcoholics all across the globe and being able to help them with a message that they crave.
Fred takes listeners on an engaging journey through the world of Alcoholics Anonymous in this episode of 'A Podcast Greater Than Yourself'. With a special announcement about an upcoming live workshop on Zoom, Fred sets the stage for an enlightening discussion on 'Big Book Sponsorship in the Age of Social Distance'. This workshop will feature ten speakers who will delve into the 12 Steps, sobriety, and the importance of fellowship, offering Q&A sessions and even 'sponsor matchmaking'.
Fred reflects on how the pandemic has reshaped the AA fellowship, highlighting the role of technology in keeping members connected and spreading the AA message. He shares anecdotes from the early days of AA, as described in the chapter 'Working with Others' from the Big Book, emphasizing the crucial role of helping others in maintaining sobriety.
Listeners will also enjoy Fred's light-hearted story about a friend who creates humorous recovery-themed songs, adding a touch of levity to the serious topic of addiction recovery. Fred imagines various scenarios within the fellowship, providing a mix of humor and insight. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in how AA has adapted to the challenges of social distancing while maintaining its core principles.
Whether you're a seasoned member or new to the program, you'll find valuable insights and inspiration. Don't miss out on this chance to join the live workshop and be part of a supportive community.
