Relapse and Recovery: Real Talk with Agent X and Dirtbag Sponsor

I don't know anyone who's been through the steps in the big book quickly that has started sponsoring others that drink again, like it's not really that is.
Relapse is a common hurdle on the path to sobriety, and in this episode of 'That's NOT in the book!', Agent X sits down with Dirtbag Sponsor to tackle this tough topic head-on. They dive into pages 37 and 38 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, shedding light on the mental phenomenon of relapse and how it affects those in recovery.
Agent X and Dirtbag Sponsor share their personal stories of falling off the wagon and climbing back on, offering a raw and honest look at the ups and downs of staying sober. The conversation also highlights the power of sponsorship and the spiritual principles that can guide one through recovery. They stress the importance of working through the steps quickly and starting to sponsor others as a way to stay committed to sobriety.
Additionally, they discuss how human states and the behavior of others can sometimes be used as excuses to drink, a trap many fall into. Whether you're just starting your journey or have been sober for years, this episode provides a wealth of insights and inspiration. Tune in for an engaging discussion that doesn't shy away from the gritty realities of recovery.
