This disease is internal, and so is recovery is internal, and if I don't have to seek recovery with the desperation of a drowning man, I'm going to drink again.
What if understanding alcoholism could be as simple as reading a book? In this episode of 'Purpose of this Book', the hosts tackle pages 35-39 of 'More About Alcoholism'. David G, Nancy F, Mark B, and Minor A guide listeners through the tricky terrain of controlled drinking and why it’s a dangerous delusion. They dive into the desperation needed for recovery and make a surprising comparison between alcoholism and jaywalking.
The episode also sheds light on the concepts of powerlessness and self-awareness, essential elements in twelve-step recovery programs. Perfect for those in AA, CA, or any twelve-step journey, this episode offers a thoughtful and engaging discussion on the complexities of alcoholism.
