I don't believe that I'm here surrendering my drinking. I believe that I'm here surrendering my life. That I have found that when I only give up my drinking or I only give up food or I only give up sex or I only give up cussing you out, that ultimately it's just like whack-a-mole. It pops up somewhere else. I'm surrendering my life.
What does it mean to truly surrender in the journey of recovery? In this episode of Mad Dog Recovery AA Speakers, Olis S. takes us through the intricacies of Steps 2 and 3, sharing her experiences from the 2023 Fellowship of the Spirit Conference. Olis’s talk is a heartfelt exploration of how embracing a higher power and letting go of self can transform one’s path to sobriety.
She starts by stressing the importance of thoroughly understanding Step 1, setting the foundation for the subsequent steps. With candid reflections, she delves into Step 2, discussing the necessity of believing in a power greater than oneself and the willingness to seek this spiritual connection as fervently as one would seek relief from addiction.
Moving to Step 3, Olis emphasizes the crucial act of surrendering to this higher power, outlining the three core beliefs essential for this step: recognizing one's alcoholism, understanding the limitations of human power, and trusting in a higher power's role in one's life. Her talk is filled with personal anecdotes and spiritual insights, making it a relatable and inspiring listen for anyone on their recovery journey.
Olis concludes with a moving reflection on the third step prayer, highlighting its significance in offering oneself to a higher power and seeking freedom from self-imposed bondage. This episode is a profound look at how faith and spiritual surrender can lead to lasting sobriety.
