Tony S. on Sobriety: From Memes to Meetings

Episode Overview

  • Recovery memes and their impact on early recovery
  • Exploration of the concept of sober celebrities and their influence within the AA community
  • Insightful discussion on the significance of gratitude and its role in the recovery journey
  • Evaluation of meeting formats within Alcoholics Anonymous, highlighting the effectiveness of book study groups
  • Reflections on the transformative impact of specific big book chapters and personal stories
A lot of people have recovered by sort of going through the book line by line, and when you encounter an instruction, you do it. And if that approach is less daunting to somebody who, for example, may be sponsoring for the first time, and is like, I don't know how to do this, sort of just, you know, riff it. It was easy for him.
What happens when two seasoned members of Alcoholics Anonymous sit down for a chat? You get a mix of humor, deep reflections, and practical wisdom. In this episode of 'A Podcast Greater Than Yourself', John Barleycorn and Tony S. dive into the world of recovery, sharing their experiences and thoughts on the 12 Steps, sobriety, and the AA fellowship.
From the lighter side of recovery memes to the serious impact of specific chapters in the Big Book, they cover it all. Ever wondered how sober celebrities navigate their fame or what makes certain meeting formats more effective? John and Tony discuss these topics with a blend of wit and sincerity. This episode isn't just about the struggles of alcoholism; it's about the gratitude and growth that come with sobriety.
Whether you're new to AA or a long-time member, Tony's candid stories and John's engaging questions offer valuable insights and a few laughs along the way.
