In this episode of Sober Cast, Kate and Callie guide you through a detailed study of Chapter 2 of the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book, titled 'There is a Solution'. This chapter is pivotal as it transitions from Bill's story to the heart of the AA programme. Kate and Callie, both alcoholics themselves, offer personal reflections and experiences that add depth and relatability to the text.
They explore the theme of 'why' - why do we drink, and why can't we stop? They share how seeking answers to these questions kept them trapped in their problems rather than leading them to solutions. The episode emphasises the importance of accepting powerlessness, surrendering to a higher power, and embracing the support of a community. You'll hear about the transformative power of spiritual experiences and how they can revolutionise one's approach to life.
The presenters also discuss the critical role of helping others in maintaining sobriety. This episode is rich with insights and practical advice for anyone on the journey to recovery. So, if you're ready to delve deeper into the Big Book and uncover the solution that has helped countless individuals, this episode is for you.
