Most of our experiences are what the psychologist William James calls the educational variety, because they develop slowly over a period of time. Quite often friends of the newcomer are aware of the difference long before he is himself.
What if the power of fellowship isn't enough to sustain long-term sobriety? In this episode of 'Purpose of this Book - Intensive Big Book Study', hosts David G, Nancy F, Mark B, Minor A, and others take a deep dive into the chapter 'There Is A Solution' and Appendix II, 'Spiritual Experience'. The group explores pages 25-27 and 567-568, shedding light on the importance of seeking a power greater than oneself and beyond the fellowship.
They discuss the mindset needed for the early steps of recovery, emphasizing the value of keeping an open mind and the pitfalls of ignorance and judgment. A particularly thought-provoking point raised is that most spiritual experiences develop gradually and are often recognized by others before the individual themselves. One host shares a candid reflection: 'Anything that anybody else was doing well in, I hated'.
This episode underscores the necessity of letting go of old ideas and embracing new concepts for genuine transformation and recovery. If you're looking for a richer understanding of the Big Book and the principles of recovery, this episode offers a wealth of insights and personal reflections.
