George H from Nobleton, Ontario, Canada, shares his journey and insights at the Broken Elevator Zoom meeting on the theme 'We Have Entered The World of the Spirit'. George’s story is a heartfelt account of transformation through Alcoholics Anonymous. He discusses how entering the 'world of the spirit' has profoundly changed his life, taking him from a place of despair to one of spiritual awareness and connection.
With anecdotes about his own struggles and triumphs, George brings to life the principles of AA, such as honesty, open-mindedness, and willingness. His reflections on dealing with grief, maintaining spiritual health, and practising daily honesty are both moving and inspiring. George's humour shines through as he recounts his European family background and early misconceptions about alcoholism. He explains that true recovery involves more than just stopping drinking; it requires a deep understanding of oneself and a commitment to spiritual growth.
George also touches on the importance of community and service within AA, sharing how the support and wisdom of others have guided him through tough times. His vivid description of a spiritual experience at his wife’s deathbed is particularly poignant, illustrating the profound peace that can come from living in the spirit. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply seeking inspiration, George’s talk offers valuable lessons on living a life grounded in spiritual principles.
