My job in AA isn't to diagnose you as alcoholic or not, to judge you, to tell you what to do, but part of my job as a chronic alcoholic who's now recovered is to help you diagnose yourself, to show you where. If you are one, let me show you where that is in the book.
Ever wondered why, despite all the warnings and personal experiences, alcoholics still reach for that next drink? In this gripping episode of 'That's NOT in the book!', Agent X and Adam dive into pages 34, 35, and 36 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. They lay bare their own journeys with AA, shedding light on the relentless grip of alcoholism and the pathways to recovery.
Agent X talks about the vital role of being open-minded in AA and how the Big Book has been a cornerstone in his spiritual growth. He candidly discusses the idea that diagnosing oneself as an alcoholic isn't about judgment but about finding guidance within the pages of the book. The heart of their discussion focuses on why alcoholics struggle to stay sober even when they know better, highlighting the necessity of fully embracing the AA program.
They also touch on surrendering to a higher power and steering clear of resentment as key steps toward recovery. Agent X shares his perspective on his lifelong commitment to AA, viewing it as a grateful 'life sentence' that has transformed his life. Tune in for an episode filled with raw honesty, practical advice, and a touch of humor, offering hope and understanding to anyone touched by alcoholism.
