In order for AA to work for you, you have to let it!
The moral of this little story is simple....stop acting like you know everything....when someone offers you a life preserver when you are drowning...you don't analyze it...you grab on for dear life.
Do the same in AA - when a sponsor offers a suggestion....do it....and save your life.
When Clancy Imislund, one of the AA greats passed away in 2020, one of Lisa's sponsee's sent her a story often told by Clancy about an invisible boat. Lisa read it and then recorded this spontaneous and unscripted response to her friends...she shares that response with you, all of her AA friends.
Clancy left a mark on Lisa that she will carry with her all of her days.
In arguably the longest and most frustrating story time ever, Julie attempts (and sort of succeeds) in bringing you an old-timey tale with very modern application.
Today Julie discusses the "stuckness" that occur in our recovery when we lose our passion, purpose, priorities, etc.

Facts About Anonymity
It is the A.A. member’s responsibility, and not that of the media, to maintain our cherished Tradition of anonymity.
A.A. members may disclose their identity and speak as recovered alcoholics, giving radio, TV and online interviews, without violating the Traditions — so long as their A.A. membership is not revealed.
A.A. members may speak publicly as A.A. members only if their full names or faces are not revealed. They speak as individual members, but not for A.A. as a whole.
