All alcoholics anonymous- the big book really is, is a user manual for alcoholics.
Imagine having a user manual for your life, especially one that helps you navigate the tricky terrain of addiction recovery. In this episode of 'Next Time I'll Try Knitting', JJ Chance opens up about how the Alcoholics Anonymous' Big Book became just that for him. Drawing a parallel to the Haynes manual, JJ humorously yet insightfully explains how this book helped him identify his problems, find practical solutions, and take meaningful action—much like fixing a car.
JJ doesn't sugarcoat his journey; he shares the ups and downs, the struggles and triumphs, all while emphasizing that the Big Book isn't a magic wand but a valuable tool. It's about doing the work, making the changes, and using the guidance provided to steer your life towards sobriety. Whether you're battling addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, JJ's candid reflections offer both comfort and practical advice.
You'll hear about how the Big Book's practical suggestions helped him on his path to recovery and why he believes it can be a helpful guide for anyone struggling with alcoholism. Tune in to hear JJ's story and see if the Big Book might just be the roadmap you or someone you know needs on their journey to sobriety.
