Join Shank and Wayne on Alcoholics Alive! as they dive into Step 7 with Lyn S., who has been sober since 1997. In this episode, Lyn shares her journey through Alcoholics Anonymous, focusing on the importance of humility and the power of asking for help. She opens up about her struggles with alcohol, the impact on her family, and how she found hope and strength in the AA community.
Lyn’s candid storytelling highlights the significance of the 12 Steps, particularly Step 7, where one humbly asks a higher power to remove their shortcomings. Her anecdotes, like hiding under her desk at work with a slurpy cup of vodka, bring a mix of humour and raw honesty to the conversation.
The hosts also discuss common sayings in AA meetings, such as “Bless Them, Change Me” and “When you get run over by a train, it's not the caboose that kills you”, providing their insights and experiences. This episode is a heartfelt reminder of the transformative power of AA’s principles and the importance of community support in the recovery journey. If you're seeking inspiration or a deeper understanding of Step 7, this episode is a must-listen.
