Bob D on Step 12: Embracing Service and Spiritual Growth in AA

I do AA for the same reason: I want to be free.
Ever wondered how service can change your life in recovery? In this episode of Sober Cast, Bob D from Las Vegas sheds light on the transformative power of working Step 12 in Alcoholics Anonymous. Speaking at the Fellowship of the Spirit conference in June 2022, Bob dives into what it means to be a 'five percenter'—one of the few who do the majority of service and twelve-step work in AA.
His early sobriety was driven by a desire to join this dedicated group, and he shares how this commitment shaped his journey. Bob talks about developing a relationship with God through the program and highlights the crucial role of helping others in maintaining sobriety. He doesn't shy away from discussing the challenges of sponsorship and service, emphasizing that the disease of alcoholism requires constant vigilance.
Listening and understanding are key, he says, and gratitude has been a cornerstone of his recovery. Throughout the episode, Bob weaves in personal stories and reflections, touching on the impact of conferences and events, the importance of humility and honesty, and the life-changing potential of the 12 steps. His candid insights and advice offer hope and encouragement to anyone struggling with sobriety or looking to deepen their commitment to AA.
Tune in to hear Bob's inspiring message about finding freedom and purpose through serving others.
