I know that my victory is none of my human doing.
Have you ever wondered about the untold stories in the history of Alcoholics Anonymous? In this episode of 'The Big Book Podcast', Howard L. brings to life 'A Feminine Victory', the first story written by a woman to appear in AA’s Big Book. Originally published in 1939 and omitted from later editions, this narrative is a hidden gem for many.
Howard, sober since 1988, reads with such passion that the story feels as relevant today as it did over eight decades ago. This episode is more than just a reading; it's a deep dive into the destructive forces of selfishness, self-pity, and resentment, and the transformative power of admitting one's faults and surrendering to a higher power. Howard's narration emphasizes the importance of accepting one's alcoholism and the dangers of trying to tough it out alone.
He also highlights the role of prayer and community support in the recovery journey. 'A Feminine Victory' is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible with the right mindset and support. Whether you're on your own path to sobriety, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about AA's history, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration. Tune in to hear a story that has been a beacon of hope for many and continues to resonate today.
