Recovered from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body, okay, we're no longer physically addicted, we're no longer mentally obsessed and hopefully, at some point, we are no longer spiritually sick.
Ever wondered if the Roman numerals in the AA Big Book have any real significance? Dan S., host of 'AA Real Talk', dives into this very topic in the episode 'Forward to the First Edition'. Dan isn't just reading from the pages; he's lived through the ups and downs of alcoholism and brings a deeply personal perspective to this discussion.
This episode sheds light on why the Big Book is more than just a guide; it's a lifeline for those battling addiction. Dan explains that the book's value extends from cover to cover, even those seemingly insignificant Roman numerals. He emphasizes that recovery is not just about quitting alcohol but achieving mental and spiritual wellness. The primary goal of AA, as Dan puts it, is to be genuinely helpful to those struggling with alcoholism.
This isn't your typical self-help program; it's a fellowship where mutual support and self-abandonment play crucial roles. Tune in to hear Dan's reflections on being 'recovered' and how aligning with AA's primary purpose can make a world of difference in your journey to sobriety.
