Beth and Dan’s Guide to 'We Agnostics': Finding Your Higher Power in AA
As soon as we get to a place where we believe that there's a higher power than ourselves which can help us, irrespective of what the definition of that power may be, almost immediately we start to see results.
Imagine feeling lost in the maze of recovery, uncertain about where to turn next. In this engaging episode of Sober Cast, Beth and Dan take listeners through a one-hour workshop on the 'We Agnostics' chapter from the AA Big Book. Recorded at an event in August 2018, this session offers a deep dive into the challenges and rewards of embracing a higher power, especially for those who may be skeptical or unsure about spirituality.
Beth and Dan tackle some big questions: What happens when you've tried everything but still struggle? How can you connect with a higher power if you're not religious? They share their own experiences and insights, offering practical advice on how to navigate these complex issues. The discussion also touches on the pitfalls of judging others within AA and the importance of self-reflection.
You'll hear about the transformative power of faith, not necessarily in a traditional sense, but as a guiding force that can help you overcome fear and grow into a better version of yourself. The workshop encourages listeners to write down their beliefs about God, face their fears head-on, and follow the Big Book's guidance to find lasting change.
Whether you're new to AA or have been on the journey for years, this episode provides valuable perspectives and actionable steps to deepen your recovery process. Beth and Dan's candid conversation is both comforting and challenging, making it a must-listen for anyone grappling with the concept of a higher power in their sobriety journey.
