The tragic truth is that if the man be a real alcoholic, the happy day may not arrive.
Ever wondered what really happens in a 12 Step meeting? This episode of 'A Podcast Greater Than Yourself' gives you a front-row seat. For the season 4 finale, host John Barleycorn brings together some favorite guests and friends for a live-to-tape meeting that’s as raw as it is enlightening. Each participant is an alcoholic or drug addict who has found recovery by following the 12 Steps outlined in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous.
They share their personal experiences, struggles, and victories, making this episode a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone touched by addiction. The meeting kicks off with readings from pages 58 to 63 of the Big Book, setting the stage for a deep dive into the themes of powerlessness and spiritual awakening. One member recounts how they lost the power of choice long before they realized it, while another delves into the insidious nature of obsession.
The conversation then shifts to the crucial role of having a sponsor to guide you through the steps, underscoring the importance of community and support in recovery. Despite the heavy topics, the atmosphere is hopeful and encouraging. The participants don’t just talk about their struggles; they also celebrate their successes and the profound changes they’ve experienced. Whether you’re new to the concept of 12 Step meetings or a seasoned member of AA, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration.
It’s a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the journey to sobriety and the transformative power of the 12 Steps.
