I think we have a real step one problem in aa, and if we don't understand step one properly, we are not ever going to do the requirements to understand what recovery looks like.
What does it really mean to surrender to a higher power? In this episode of 'That's NOT in the book!', Agent X and Hampshire Grenadier take a deep dive into the 'Into Action' chapter of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. They focus on the often-misunderstood Step One, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the depth of one's alcoholism to truly embrace recovery.
The conversation flows into the spiritual aspect of sobriety, highlighting the role of humility and the necessity of a higher power in achieving lasting change. Hampshire Grenadier shares his personal journey through the Fourth Step inventory and making amends in Step Nine, offering a raw and honest look at how these steps helped him release resentments and move forward. The hosts also tackle the challenges faced by women in AA leadership roles and discuss the dangers of complacency in recovery.
Their candid discussion underscores the importance of staying connected to a higher power and continually working the Steps to maintain sobriety and foster spiritual growth. With practical advice and heartfelt stories, this episode provides a rich tapestry of insights for anyone on their recovery journey. Agent X’s memorable line, 'We didn't come here to stay sick', encapsulates the episode’s core message: recovery is an ongoing process that requires dedication and spiritual engagement.
Whether you're new to AA or a seasoned member, you'll find inspiration and practical wisdom in this engaging conversation. So, grab your Big Book and join Agent X and Hampshire Grenadier as they unpack the transformative power of the 12 Steps.
