It's a reminder that there are millions of people who laid the groundwork for all the incredible recovery options that sit right in front of me Every Single Day.
Picture this: a time when the 12-step program was just a fledgling idea, and sobriety was a journey embarked upon by only a few brave souls. In this episode of 'LOL Sober', Nelson H. dives into the early days of Alcoholics Anonymous, focusing on a reading from the Big Book's 'A Vision for You' chapter.
He shares a moment from a recent meeting where a nurse's quirky description of a potential new member—a 'real corker' who had just caused some trouble—sparked both amusement and reflection. Nelson's conflicted feelings about the term lead to a deeper exploration of how the first members of AA, including Bill W. and Dr. Bob, laid the groundwork for what would become a lifeline for millions.
This episode isn't just about nostalgia; it's a heartfelt reminder of the humble beginnings and the monumental impact of those early efforts. Nelson's blend of humor and insight makes this journey through history both entertaining and thought-provoking. Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this path for years, you'll find inspiration in the story of how a few determined individuals changed the world for so many.
