  • 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.

    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.

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