Getting a sponsor, working the steps, and finding one's own understanding of a higher power are the keys to sobriety, as Terrie and Jennie discovered on AA Grapevine's Podcast.
Imagine finding hope and recovery in the most unexpected places. In this episode of AA Grapevine's Podcast, hosts Don and Sam chat with Terrie and Jennie, two remarkable women from the Australian Outback, who share their personal journeys towards sobriety. Terrie recounts her multiple attempts to quit drinking on her own before discovering the power of community in AA. 'I had to learn from personal experience that I'm not going to be able to do this by myself,' she admits.
Her story is a testament to the strength found in asking for help and embracing the support of others. Jennie's path to sobriety took a unique turn when she discovered AA through virtual meetings. Living in a remote area, she found a lifeline in online connections. 'Zoom has enriched my program so much because I've accessed all your meetings in the states,' she shares. This episode highlights the transformative impact of technology in bridging distances and creating supportive networks.
Both women emphasize the importance of working the steps and finding a personal understanding of a higher power. Terrie reflects on her journey, saying, 'Getting a sponsor and working the steps was where it was all at—it's not just going to meetings.' Jennie echoes this sentiment, expressing her amazement at connecting with people thousands of miles away. 'It's just amazing,' she says, highlighting the joy and strength found in these connections.
In times of isolation, this episode offers a beacon of hope and encouragement. It reminds us that no matter where we are, we can find support and inspiration in the stories of others. Tune in to hear Terrie and Jennie's heartwarming tales of resilience and discover how they navigated their paths to sobriety.
