Tony B from Belfast shares a raw and heartfelt journey in this episode, diving deep into what the 'fourth dimension' means in the context of recovery. Tony opens up about his initial scepticism towards the concept and how he struggled with the idea of a 'God consciousness'. His candid reflections on hitting rock bottom, grappling with DTs, and eventually finding solace in the AA Big Book are both moving and inspiring.
Tony's story is filled with moments of humour and vulnerability, like when he admits to thinking of Star Trek when first hearing about the fourth dimension. He also recounts the pivotal moment when he finally engaged with the Big Book, underlining a line that resonated deeply with him: 'We have found much of heaven, and we have been rocketed into a fourth dimension of existence, of which we had not even dreamed'.
This marked the beginning of a profound transformation for Tony, one that saw him move from despair to a place of hope and new beginnings. His journey through the steps, guided by a sponsor he initially disliked but grew to love, is a testament to the power of willingness and faith. Tony's story is a reminder that recovery is not just about abstaining from alcohol but about embracing a new way of life.
Whether you're new to AA or have been on the journey for a while, Tony's story offers valuable insights and encouragement. Tune in to hear how he navigated his path to sobriety and found his own fourth dimension.
