But boy, when you take a look at these points, I don't know, are they asking anything less?
Ever wondered how the foundational principles of Alcoholics Anonymous came to be? In this episode, Father Bill W. and Matt D., Executive Director of All Addicts Anonymous, take a deep dive into the evolution of AA's Pioneer Program. They trace its roots back to the Oxford Group’s Four Absolutes—Honesty, Purity, Unselfishness, and Love—and explain how these core values transformed into the 12 Steps we know today. But that’s not all.
The discussion also focuses on the Ten Points from Chapter Five of the Big Book, offering listeners a detailed look at the transformation process that lies at the heart of recovery. Father Bill and Matt emphasize the importance of committing wholeheartedly to the program and practicing its principles with courage and thoroughness. If you’re curious about how spirituality intertwines with addiction recovery or want to deepen your understanding of the 12 Steps, this episode is a treasure trove of insights.
It's an enlightening listen for anyone looking to connect more deeply with their spiritual practice and discover the 'Great Reality' within.
