About this listen

The Vault of the Wanderer is a sobriety-literature commentary illuminating the writings of Alcoholics Anonymous and material heard in the rooms of AA. The speaker weaves AA literature with the Bhagavad Gita, the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, the Buddha, and other sacred texts. This is not a podcast about how to stop drinking and is not intended for early sobriety, but about the inner work that begins once sobriety is stable and its foundations are in place — dismantling defects of character, understanding the ego, and discovering the Higher Power within. The voice speaks as a fellow traveler, not as a representative of AA or any tradition.Anonymous Spirituality

  • Practicing Steps One, Two, and Three
    Jan 17 2026

    In this episode, we explore a practical way to practice Steps One, Two, and Three of Alcoholics Anonymous, not as ideas or slogans, but as lived experience.


    Through a scene that arose in meditation, the episode reflects on honesty, hope, and surrender, and the daily choice between self-will and reliance on a Higher Power.


    Big Book passages from pages 60 through 62 are read and reflected upon, showing how quitting self-direction and inviting a Director changes how life is lived, moment by moment.


    This is a short, contemplative episode meant to leave space for reflection.

  • Leaving External Guidance Behind: The Temporary Nature of Sponsorship
    Dec 5 2025

    I explore the role of sponsorship in early sobriety, and how my guidance began to shift as my recovery deepened—from external support toward inner direction.


    Through a symbolic dream and reflections on AA, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Buddha, I examine my movement from borrowed recovery toward an inner compass rooted deep down within.


    This episode invites reflection on when reliance on personalities gives way to trust in the innermost self.
