from Sober Sunrise - AA Speaker Podcast · host Sober Sunrise
Sandy B. from Tampa, FL speaking at the Far Corners retreat in Ellenton, FL - December 11th 2008 Visit our website - Sober-Sunrise.com In Part 3, Sandy introduces concepts like eliminating time, ego, and identity to become the “hole in the donut,” symbolizing true spiritual surrender. Using vivid metaphors and stories—from St. Francis’s radical humility to Chuck Chamberlain’s quiet spiritual leadership—Sandy draws a parallel between the 12 steps and the path to conscious contact with God. He offers a humorous yet humbling proposal for joining the “Wilsonian Order of the Present Moment,” requiring complete letting go of ego, plans, and even beliefs to access divine presence. His message reminds listeners that the spiritual awakening AA promises is not a future event, but an ongoing miracle available only in the now—a singular, eternal moment still unfolding since Bill W.’s Towns Hospital experience. It’s a call to stop waiting and start being. Music: Deep by KaizanBlu
