Sober up a horse thief and you still have a horse thief
In this episode of Alcoholics Alive!, Kristi S. shares her transformative journey with the chapter 'We Agnostics' from the Alcoholics Anonymous book. Kristi, who has been sober since 1989, opens up about her initial scepticism towards AA and how she eventually found hope and purpose through the programme. She talks about the challenges she faced, including her struggles with belief in a higher power, and how AA's inclusive approach helped her find her own path to sobriety.
The hosts, Shank and Wayne, bring their usual humour and warmth, making this a lively yet deeply insightful discussion. One of the standout moments is when Kristi discusses the phrase, 'Sober up a horse thief and you still have a horse thief', highlighting the importance of not just quitting alcohol but also working on personal growth. The episode also touches on practical advice like 'Restrain of thumb and send', encouraging people to think before they text or react impulsively.
Kristi’s story is a testament to the power of community and the importance of finding a belief system that works for you, whether it's religious or not. The hosts and Kristi also delve into the misconception that AA tries to trick agnostics or atheists into believing in a religious God. They clarify that the programme is about finding a power greater than oneself, whatever form that may take.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone questioning their beliefs or looking for a supportive community to help them on their journey to sobriety. Whether you're new to AA or a long-time member, Kristi’s experiences and the hosts' engaging discussion offer valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to discover how AA can be a flexible and supportive framework for anyone seeking to change their life for the better.
