I'm absolutely dying and I'll do anything.
How does one truly embrace the concept of a higher power in the journey to sobriety? In this episode of Sober Cast, Ian L from Union, New Jersey, takes listeners through a detailed Big Book Study on Step 2. Recorded at the 4th Montclair New Jersey Big Book Study in 2011, Ian's session is a deep dive into the significance of this crucial step in the recovery process.
Ian starts by discussing the necessity of recognizing one's own unacceptability as a foundation for recovery. He then moves on to explain the idea of a higher power in AA, linking it to the physical allergy and the phenomenon of craving that many experience. The spiritual malady within, Ian argues, can be addressed through the steps, and he emphasizes building a spiritual structure as vital for recovery.
Throughout the episode, Ian shares his personal experiences, making the study not just informative but also deeply relatable. He touches on the benefits of working with a sponsor and how faith and belief play pivotal roles in overcoming addiction. His reflections offer practical advice and hope for anyone struggling with addiction or looking to understand the AA program better.
This episode is a treasure trove of insights and practical guidance, perfect for anyone in recovery or those supporting someone on their journey. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of Step 2 and how it can help build a solid foundation for a life of sobriety.
