The alcoholic suffers from a spiritual malady, or so it says in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. What does that mean? And how can we change it? And how do we build and improve on that spiritual connection?
This week, we’re talking all about the spiritual connection, a topic inspired by the amazing warstory from Bill. Bill was the son of an alcoholic and grew up without a father. When his alcohol got out of control he said his first honest prayer and never drank a drop again. But, the alcohol was keeping him from being restless, irritable and discontent. And without it, it was only a matter of life, once again, became unmanageable. Tune into to hear what life is like for Bill today.
Thanks Bill, for sharing your story!
