The delusion that we are like other people, or presently maybe, has to be smashed. Put the plug in the jug is not a solution for me.
Ever wondered why some people can't seem to control their drinking, no matter how hard they try? In this episode of the Intensive Big Book Study, David G, Nancy F, and others take you on a deep dive into the chapter 'More About Alcoholism'. They kick things off with the set-aside prayer and some powerful quotes from the book's foreword, setting the stage for a meaningful discussion.
The hosts share their personal journeys to sobriety, emphasizing the crucial role of spiritual growth and inner acceptance. They break down the three-fold nature of alcoholism, touching on physical, mental, and spiritual aspects, and discuss how resentment can be a major stumbling block in recovery. One of the standout moments is when they talk about the illusion of control many alcoholics face and the importance of truly admitting to oneself that they are powerless over alcohol.
As one host poignantly puts it, 'Put the plug in the jug is not a solution for me'. This episode is perfect for anyone involved in twelve-step programs or those following the principles laid out in 'Alcoholics Anonymous'. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that could change your perspective on recovery.
