But anyway, so I mean what I'm trying to say is: is that that we are on? If we don't have- and I'm not talking about changing the big book, right, but if we don't have a modern restatement of our spiritual principles in a language that can be understood
In this fascinating episode of 'That's NOT in the book!', Agent X sits down with The Voyager, an AA historian and cofounder of the Symposium on AA history. Together, they dive into page 63 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, shedding light on its deeper meanings and practical applications in today's recovery landscape.
The Voyager, who has a rich background in AA history and research, brings a unique perspective to the discussion, making this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in the roots and evolution of AA. The conversation covers a lot of ground, from the significance of prayer and personal spirituality in recovery to the ever-changing approaches to addiction treatment within AA. The Voyager emphasizes the importance of modernizing spiritual principles to keep them relevant and accessible for today's alcoholics.
As he puts it, 'If we don't have a modern restatement of our spiritual principles in a language that can be understood, we're not going to be able to be useful to the alcoholic who still suffers'. Agent X and The Voyager also explore the role of ego and personality collapse in achieving sobriety, the transformative power of love, and how AA's core principles have stood the test of time.
They discuss how these principles can be adapted to meet the needs of modern-day recovery without losing their essence. Whether you're new to AA or a seasoned member, this episode offers valuable insights into the spiritual and practical aspects of recovery. It's like sitting down with two knowledgeable friends who are passionate about helping others find their path to sobriety. So grab your Big Book, tune in, and get ready to uncover some timeless wisdom and fresh perspectives on recovery.
