Most alcoholics have to be pretty badly mangled before they really commence to solve their problems.
Ever thought about what makes some people more prone to alcoholism? In this episode of 'The Big Book Podcast', Howard L. dives into Chapter 3 of the Second Edition of Alcoholics Anonymous. While the chapter hasn't changed much since its first publication, there's a fascinating footnote on page 34 that sheds light on young people and their struggles with alcohol. This footnote, which has evolved over the years, highlights how AA's membership demographics have shifted, particularly among younger folks.
Howard L., sober since January 1988, brings his unique perspective and passionate reading to this episode. He doesn't just read the text; he unpacks the progressive nature of alcoholism, its impact on relationships, and the crucial role of self-awareness in recovery. The episode also touches on the signs of potential alcoholism among young people and the difficulties in getting them to recognize these signs.
If you're looking for a blend of historical context and practical insights, this episode is a must-listen. Howard's narration makes it easy to understand and relate to the material, making it an invaluable resource for anyone on the path to sobriety or supporting someone who is. So grab your headphones and tune in for an enlightening experience that could very well change how you view alcoholism and recovery.
