It's a daily reprieve - AA Speaker Meeting

Russ, an alcoholic with over 16 years of sobriety, shares his profound journey from an early infatuation with alcohol, influenced by childhood experiences and media, to his eventual recovery. He recounts his challenging childhood, marked by family issues, abuse, and loss, which solidified his reliance on alcohol as a perceived solution. Russ details his path through multiple relapses, the vital role of sponsorship and making amends, and the continuous practice of spiritual principles like the “daily reprieve” and a “spiritual circulatory system” for Steps 10, 11, and 12, culminating in the practical tool of an “appreciation walk” for maintaining gratitude.
