I found a higher power that worked for me. Life has done a lot of things to me and has helped me grow up, and that's what I believe Alcoholics Anonymous does most. So I'm grateful to god for the program of Alcoholics Anonymous.
What does it mean to find solace and strength in a community that understands your unique struggles? This episode of Sober Cast tackles this profound question by diving into the experiences of African American members of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Multiple speakers come together to share their personal journeys with alcoholism, shedding light on the additional hurdles they face due to racism and discrimination.
Listeners are taken on a heartfelt journey where themes of surrendering to a higher power and finding a supportive community are central. One speaker poignantly reflects, 'Life has thrown many challenges my way, but through AA, I've found a higher power that helps me navigate them.' The episode underscores how crucial it is to prioritize meetings and service in one's recovery journey. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the Black experience within AA.
It offers a unique perspective on how the program's principles can help overcome not just addiction, but also the societal challenges that come with being Black in America. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, these stories of resilience and transformation will leave you feeling inspired and hopeful.
