My sponsor has always asked: where does it hurt. And god will call me home One Day and I will take my last breath and that will be a prayer. So I get excited about going into prayer because I'm talking to god during The Day.
Peter M. takes the mic in this episode of 'Mad Dog Recovery AA Speakers' to share his transformative journey through Step 11 of Alcoholics Anonymous. For years, Peter grappled with self-will and the illusion of self-reliance, unaware of the damage it was inflicting on his life and relationships. It wasn't until he joined AA that he began to comprehend the depth of his struggles with alcoholism and the necessity of relinquishing his attachments to find true peace.
Initially skeptical about the program's focus on God and meditation, Peter soon discovered that these practices were vital to his recovery. He now begins each day with an awakening prayer and makes time for stillness and silence throughout his daily routine. This practice, he believes, has revolutionized his life, fostering a closer relationship with God. Peter's story underscores the transformative power of the AA program and the importance of staying engaged with its steps.
He cautions against the perils of playing God and clinging to material possessions, urging listeners to cultivate a deeper spiritual connection and recognize God's omnipresence. Ultimately, Peter's journey serves as a powerful reminder that AA offers a path to a new way of living. By letting go of self-will and embracing a daily awakening practice, anyone can find freedom from addiction's chains and step into a life of serenity and purpose.
