The fact is that most alcoholics - not most, all for reasons yet obscure, have lost the power of choice and drink our so-called willpower becomes practically non-existent.
What does it really mean to experience a spiritual awakening during recovery? In this episode, the hosts of the 'Purpose of this Book - Intensive Big Book Study' podcast dive deep into 'More About Alcoholism' (pages 39-43) to unravel this question. The discussion kicks off with a moment to reflect on the purpose of the Big Book, setting a thoughtful tone for the session.
As they read through these pivotal pages, the hosts dissect the concept of powerlessness over alcohol and the critical need to admit this powerlessness as a cornerstone of recovery. They delve into the threefold nature of alcoholism—physical, mental, and spiritual—and why a profound psychic change is essential for lasting sobriety. The conversation doesn't stop there; it branches out to explore how fellowship and a connection to a higher power play crucial roles in facilitating this transformative change.
The hosts share personal stories and real-life examples, making the complex ideas more relatable and digestible. If you're navigating your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical wisdom from seasoned members of the recovery community.
