We love you and we need you, and we want you in Alcoholics Anonymous.
Valentine's Day isn't just for romantic love; it's also a perfect time to reflect on the love and tolerance that are so vital in the journey of recovery. In this special episode of 'Sober Speak', John M shares a touching message aimed at the Alcoholics Anonymous community. He opens up about the challenges of understanding and practicing love, both before and after joining AA.
John recalls a life-changing moment with his sponsor, Bob, who welcomed him into the program with the words, 'We love you here and we need you here'. These simple yet powerful words had a profound impact on John, and he wants every member of the AA community to feel the same sense of belonging and acceptance. John emphasizes the importance of attending AA meetings, especially for those who might be struggling with the concept of love and tolerance.
He suggests that attending your first meeting on Valentine's Day could be a meaningful gift to yourself. Through his own experiences, John has learned to practice love and tolerance towards others, even in challenging situations. He reminds listeners of the AA principle that 'love and tolerance of others is our code', encouraging them to reach out and support someone in need. This brief but powerful episode serves as a heartfelt reminder that love and acceptance are crucial components of recovery.
John's message is one of hope and inspiration, urging listeners to practice kindness and remember that they are loved and needed within the AA community.
