My aa fellowship is a big fan of that and book, which is a fine book, it's a great book, but it doesn't have the directions that I needed to be led to, a power greater than myself that I could trust and rely on and that could save my life.
What happens after you complete the 12 steps in AA? Brenda J from Texas, sober since 2009, tackles this very question in a compelling episode of Sober Cast. Recorded at the Broken Elevator Meeting in March 2022, Brenda offers a candid look at her life post-12 steps. She dives into the challenges she faced and the tools that have helped her maintain her sobriety.
Her story is filled with relatable moments and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating their own recovery journey. Brenda reflects on the limitations of the Big Book, noting that while it's an invaluable resource, it doesn't cover everything. She stresses the importance of relying on a power greater than oneself and shares various practices that have been instrumental in her continued growth.
Fear and self-will are recurring themes in her talk, as she explores how these elements can derail one's recovery if not properly managed. One of the highlights of Brenda's story is her discussion on spiritual growth. She delves into the influence of the Oxford group's six steps on AA's 12 steps and emphasizes the benefits of two-way prayer. Her insights are both thought-provoking and deeply personal, offering listeners a fresh perspective on maintaining sobriety.
This episode is more than just a recounting of Brenda's experiences; it's a reminder that recovery is an ongoing journey. Completing the 12 steps is a significant milestone, but it's not the end. Brenda's story serves as a beacon for those looking to continue their spiritual growth and maintain their sobriety long-term. Tune in to hear her inspiring journey and discover valuable tools for your own path to recovery.
