ep 52 Big Book Study - A Vision for you continues....Finding Hope in a Dismal Hotel Lobby

Hey there, fellow recovery warriors! You know how life sometimes feels a bit like a sinking ship, with everything around you just going haywire? Well, this episode of "A Shot Glass of Recovery" is just the life raft you need! I'm Lisa, and I'm thrilled to have you joining me once again, thanks to my home group, the AA Solution Seekers, who graciously let us record our soul-searching meetings to share with everyone.

Today, we're deep-diving into the heart of AA's "Big Book," exploring the chapter "A Vision for You" right off page 152. If you're wondering where to find like-minded souls in your journey of recovery, we've got stories that show this wonderful fellowship is closer than you think! We've got tales of friendships forged in the fires of recovery – where people, who at one point thought of themselves as hopeless, turned their lives around. Thanks to the AA program, they've found happiness, respect, and a newfound usefulness.

Remember what it felt like to stand alone in a noisy room, feeling isolated? Well, picture this: standing in the lobby of a hotel, staring down the choice of drowning your sorrows or reaching out for salvation. Our journey in this episode highlights those pivotal moments when individuals decide to ditch the bottle and embrace connection – the moment where by choosing fellowship over isolation, they find a path to hope and healing.

Oh, and guess what? We're learning the ins and outs of being there for others, the groundwork laid by AA's inspiring founders like Bill and Dr. Bob. So if you're feeling a bit lonely, a touch lost, or just need a little encouragement to keep you going, tune in and discover the magic and the challenges of finding your own path to a fulfilling sober life. Remember, you are never alone; this community has got your back!
