Johnny's Journey: Insights from 'More About Alcoholism' in AA's Big Book

More about alcoholism is my favorite part of the book, because it's telling me that self-knowledge is going to avail me nothing, so I can't use my big brain to think my way out of this and I've tried- I've tried all other things- to control my drinking and not even control my drinking.
What happens when you combine raw honesty with a deep dive into the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous? You get an episode like this one, where Agent X and Johnny tackle the chapter More About Alcoholism. They don’t just read the text; they live it, sharing personal stories that make the struggles and triumphs of recovery come alive. Ever wondered why self-knowledge alone isn’t enough to quit drinking? Or why a spiritual solution is often the key to lasting sobriety?
Johnny and Agent X break it down for you, offering a mix of wisdom and hard-earned lessons. Johnny talks about the importance of daily practices and rituals to stay sober, while Agent X emphasizes the humbling experience of adhering to AA traditions. Together, they discuss hitting rock bottom, the painful reality of relapse, and the transformative power of becoming teachable. This episode is a heartfelt conversation that offers both practical advice and emotional support.
