I can't solve a problem if I don't know what problem I have... that wasn't why I drank.
Imagine sitting in a room where the words of the Big Book truly come to life. That's exactly what happens in this session led by Mary W. and Chad P. This episode kicks off a seven-part workshop, where Mary and Chad dive deep into the complexities of alcoholism as described in the Big Book. They tackle some thought-provoking topics, like the difference between an alcoholic and a non-alcoholic, and the illusion of control that often haunts those struggling with addiction.
Ever wondered why some people can't stop drinking once they start? Mary and Chad shed light on this by discussing the concept of an 'allergy' to alcohol, which makes the craving uncontrollable when alcohol is present in the system. The duo also explores the idea of a psychic change that can help ease the desire for alcohol, provided a few simple rules are followed. One of the standout moments is their discussion on step two and agnosticism.
They emphasize the importance of honesty and willingness in recovery, and how having a personal conception of a Higher Power—without needing to define it precisely—can be incredibly liberating. If you're curious about the roots of Alcoholics Anonymous or seeking to understand the nature of alcoholism better, this episode is packed with valuable insights.
