The great fact is just this, and nothing less, that we have had deep and effective spiritual experiences which have revolutionized our whole attitude toward life, toward our fellows and toward god's universe.
What if the key to overcoming alcoholism lies in something as intangible as a spiritual experience? In this episode of 'The Big Book Podcast', Howard L. reads Chapter 2 from the Second Edition of the Big Book, titled 'THERE IS A SOLUTION'. This chapter underwent a significant change in 1955, when it named Dr. Carl Jung as the 'celebrated physician' who treated Rowland H., an American businessman. Dr.
Jung's advice that only a spiritual experience could help Rowland marked a pivotal moment in the history of Alcoholics Anonymous. Through this recommendation and Rowland's involvement with the Oxford Group, a chain of events was set in motion that eventually led to the founding of AA by Bill Wilson and others. Howard L., who has been sober since January 1988, brings this transformative story to life with his passionate narration.
He encourages listeners to revisit earlier episodes that feature the main chapters and stories from the First Edition of the Big Book. This episode offers valuable insights into the role of spirituality in recovery, the influence of Dr. Jung, and the importance of self-searching and spiritual tools. It's a must-listen for anyone on the journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is.
