I think the result of the process... is that we've looked at the absence of one thing as providing something else right.
Have you ever wondered if the promises from AA's Big Book are more than just hopeful words? In this engaging episode of 'Recovery (Sort Of) - The Podcast', hosts Billy and Jason take a deep dive into the 12 promises outlined in the 9th step section of the Big Book. These promises have become a cornerstone of AA, but are they realistic goals that the 12 steps can help achieve?
Billy and Jason break down each promise, discussing whether they believe these outcomes are truly attainable through the program. For example, they question the second promise, which claims that one will know a new freedom and happiness. Is this just an optimistic view, or can it be a reality for those in recovery? The hosts also explore the concepts of serenity versus comprehension, the importance of making amends, and the common fears related to people and financial insecurity.
They even touch on how these promises influence parenting and personal growth. This episode offers a thought-provoking look at whether AA's promises can genuinely guide individuals toward a better life. Tune in for a candid discussion that challenges conventional wisdom and encourages listeners to reflect on their own recovery journey.
