Ever wondered how four people can condense the 12 Steps of AA into just 60 minutes? In this episode of Sober Cast, you'll find out! Due to some nasty weather back in February 2014, the scheduled speaker for the monthly meeting couldn't make it. Instead, four homegroup members stepped up to the plate, each tackling a few steps to create an engaging and fast-paced session. Jeff Melcock kicks things off by sharing his journey through Steps 1, 2, and 3.
His candid recount of repeatedly falling off the wagon and finding his way back to AA is both relatable and inspiring. He emphasises the importance of having a higher power and making a decision to turn one's life around. Next, Paul Munch dives into Steps 4 through 9, shedding light on the importance of taking a personal inventory and making amends.
His story of hitting rock bottom twice and finally finding peace through the steps is a testament to the transformative power of AA. Stacey Metzler wraps things up with Steps 10, 11, and 12, focusing on the daily maintenance required to stay sober. Her light-hearted yet profound insights into trusting God, cleaning house, and helping others bring the session full circle.
This episode is a whirlwind tour of the 12 Steps, packed with personal anecdotes, practical advice, and a good dose of humour. If you're looking for a quick yet thorough overview of AA's 12 Steps, this episode is a must-listen.
