Alcohol did for me everything that Dr. Silkworth describes as...I don't know because I'm not a doctor.
In this episode of 'That's NOT in the book!', Agent X is joined by Mr. Jung (who insists he's not a doctor) for a lively discussion about Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), the Big Book, and their personal journeys through sobriety.

Agent X, known for her passionate and sometimes provocative style, doesn't shy away from challenging popular AA slogans and practices, making for an engaging and thought-provoking conversation. Mr. Jung shares his remarkable story of getting sober at 16 and staying sober for over four decades. The duo debates the significance of 'time' in recovery, the concept of 'one day at a time', and the importance of spiritual growth.
They also touch on the common misconceptions about what it means to be a 'real alcoholic' and the spiritual malady that underlies alcoholism. The episode is filled with personal anecdotes, laughter, and moments of deep reflection. You'll hear about the challenges and rewards of long-term sobriety, the role of humility in recovery, and the ongoing journey of self-improvement. Whether you're new to AA or have been sober for years, this episode offers a fresh perspective on the path to recovery.
