Scott's Journey: Embracing Surrender and Service in AA

I was still doing it my way, still doing it my way, and it did not work until I surrendered that idea, like I could do it and I just couldn't.
Have you ever wondered what it truly means to surrender in the fight against alcoholism? In this episode of the AA Grapevine's Podcast, Scott opens up about his transformative journey of embracing his powerlessness over alcohol. Through candid storytelling, Scott reveals how his home group played a pivotal role in his recovery, offering not just support but a sense of belonging that was crucial for his sobriety.
He dives into the nuances between an AA group and an AA meeting, shedding light on how each serves a unique purpose in the recovery process. Corin also joins the conversation, posing a thought-provoking question to an old-timer about when new members are ready to start helping others. This episode doesn’t shy away from discussing the risks associated with binge drinking and how finding a higher power can be a game-changer in recovery.
Scott's narrative is not just about his struggles but also about the hope and inspiration he found along the way. If you're looking for insights on how to maintain sobriety through service work and community support, this episode is a must-listen.
