In this episode of Sober Cast, Ann Marie G takes the spotlight in part 11 of a 15-part workshop series. The focus is on 'Practicing the Principles in All Our Affairs', and Ann Marie doesn't hold back from sharing her journey with honesty and humour. She opens up about her struggles with road rage, her battles with alcoholism, and the transformative power of AA's 12-step programme.
Ann Marie’s story is relatable and raw, shedding light on the everyday challenges of staying sober and the importance of practising AA principles in every aspect of life. Ann Marie reflects on her personal experiences, from the physical cravings and mental obsessions that come with alcoholism to the spiritual malady that underlies it all. She talks about her initial resistance to working the steps and how she eventually found a sponsor who guided her through the process.
Her anecdotes are both heart-wrenching and inspiring, like the time she realised her manipulative behaviour in relationships or how she found compassion for her brother’s wife after a deep self-examination. One of the most striking parts of Ann Marie’s talk is her discussion on the fourth step – making a fearless moral inventory. She describes it as a pin that bursts the balloon of self-deception, revealing uncomfortable truths but also offering freedom and growth.
Her journey through the steps is a testament to the power of honesty, humility, and willingness to change. Ann Marie also shares practical advice on how to incorporate AA principles into daily life, such as asking, 'What can I do for this person?' before entering any situation. Her morning meditation routine, which includes simple acts like breathing exercises or petting her cat, underscores the importance of showing up for oneself and for a higher power.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of AA’s principles and apply them in their own lives. Ann Marie’s candid storytelling and practical wisdom make it both engaging and enlightening.
