Joe, an experienced member of Alcoholics Anonymous, takes the stage in this episode of Recovery Radio Network's 'Twelve Step Workshop part 1 AA,WKS'. Joe's candid and humorous approach immediately sets a relaxed tone as he removes his coat and untucks his shirt, signalling that this session is going to be anything but formal.
His journey through the twelve steps is filled with personal anecdotes, spiritual insights, and a profound sense of gratitude for the sobriety he's maintained since August 17th, 1982. Joe emphasises the importance of action over mere feelings, asserting that gratitude and love are best expressed through deeds rather than words alone. He also highlights the spiritual essence of the entire AA programme, noting that even mistakes can be profoundly spiritual experiences.
Joe's narrative is both reflective and engaging, offering a blend of wisdom and light-hearted moments, such as his story about a tie ending up in the toilet during a prayer session. He delves into the concept of 'the fellowship of the spirit', a deeper connection within AA that goes beyond mere camaraderie.
Joe's reflections on humility versus humiliation, the importance of spiritual awakenings, and the necessity of seeking God's power to practice love and tolerance are both thought-provoking and deeply resonant. If you're looking for a mix of humour, spirituality, and practical advice on recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
