The reason these cliches that we have are cliches is because there's a principle behind them that is so true that it never wears out.
Ever wondered how someone grapples with the concept of a higher power while trying to quit drinking? In this episode of the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, Jody opens up about her winding road to sobriety. Starting with her sister taking her to AA meetings as a teenager, Jody faced numerous challenges, including lingering doubts about the 'God idea'. She shares how these struggles didn't stop her from giving AA another shot at 21 in Norfolk, VA.
Working through the steps twice with different sponsors, Jody found steps 4 and 5 particularly impactful, but it was during steps 8 and 9 that she experienced a profound spiritual shift, especially when making amends with her father. Her story highlights the transformative power of making amends and setting personal boundaries. Jody’s journey, from skepticism to spiritual freedom, is a testament to the importance of persistence and finding a higher power that resonates with you.
Whether you're new to AA or looking for a fresh perspective on recovery, Jody's candid account offers both inspiration and practical insights.
