Chapter Six - INTO ACTION: Steps to Sobriety with Howard L.

We are there to sweep off our side of the street, realizing that nothing worthwhile can be accomplished until we do so, never trying to tell him what he should do.
What does it really take to stay sober? In this episode, Howard L. dives into Chapter Six of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, titled 'INTO ACTION'. He brings the text to life with his engaging word-for-word reading, making it accessible and relatable. This chapter is all about the nitty-gritty of maintaining sobriety—covering everything from house-cleaning to humility, and fearlessness to honesty.
Howard also touches on the importance of talking to someone ordained by an established religion and approaching others with tact and common sense. Making amends and reparations are key themes here, along with the world of spirit and the exercise of will-power. Prayer and meditation are emphasized as vital tools in the recovery journey. By focusing on sweeping off our side of the street and practicing these principles daily, we can achieve a spiritual experience that helps maintain sobriety.
Whether you're new to AA or have been in the program for years, Howard's reading offers valuable insights into the practical steps needed for recovery. Tune in for an episode that not only reads the Big Book but also unpacks its profound lessons for everyday life.
