In this engaging episode of 'Mad Dog Recovery AA Speakers', Paige F. shares her heartfelt journey through alcoholism and recovery, focusing on the transformative power of placing her life in 'God's hands'. With a mix of humour and raw honesty, Paige dives into the depths of her struggles and triumphs, offering a unique 'big book bounce around' approach to the AA Big Book.
This format, which she describes as unhinged yet deeply personal, helps her illustrate the stark contrast between living life on self-will and surrendering to a higher power. Paige recounts her experiences with alcoholism, touching on the denial and self-will that once dominated her life. She reads from key passages of the Big Book, such as page 44's 'We Agnostics', to highlight how understanding and accepting her condition was crucial for her recovery.
Through vivid metaphors, like comparing her struggle to being battered in a river until saved by the 'loving and powerful hand of God', Paige paints a powerful picture of transformation. Her reflections on the 12 steps reveal them not as a ladder to success but as a process of letting go and embracing unconditional love. Paige’s candid storytelling about her journey from despair to serenity is both moving and inspiring.
She emphasises that true recovery involves clearing away the internal blockages to connect with a higher power, leading to a life filled with peace and purpose. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking insight into the profound impact of spiritual surrender in overcoming addiction. So, are you ready to discover what life can look like when it's placed in God's hands?
