Finding Strength in Steps 1-3: A Big Book Workshop Experience

I needed to have a higher power with me all the time because I'm not going to always have somebody from AA magically appear at every event I go to.
What happens when three dedicated AA members come together to discuss the first three steps of Alcoholics Anonymous? You get an episode packed with wisdom, warmth, and a touch of humor. In this episode of Sober Cast, recorded at the First Annual New Freedom Big Book Retreat, Emily D, Winslow S, and Barb S share their personal journeys and insights into Steps 1, 2, and 3.
These steps are the foundation of the AA program, focusing on admitting powerlessness over alcohol, believing in a higher power, and making a decision to turn one's will and life over to that power. Emily kicks things off by discussing the profound impact of admitting her own powerlessness. She paints a vivid picture of her life before sobriety and how accepting Step 1 was a game-changer.
Winslow follows with his reflections on Step 2, sharing how finding faith helped him see the light at the end of the tunnel. His story is filled with relatable moments that will resonate with anyone who has ever doubted themselves. Finally, Barb wraps up the workshop by delving into Step 3. She talks about the freedom she found in surrendering her will to a higher power and how this step continues to guide her daily life.
Her anecdotes about learning to let go and trust are both touching and enlightening. This episode is perfect for those new to AA or anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the first three steps. It's a blend of heartfelt stories and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone on the path to recovery.
Whether you're just starting your journey or have been sober for years, Emily, Winslow, and Barb offer valuable perspectives that can inspire and support you along the way.
