Dr. Mike is back with another insightful episode of 'Experience The Big Book', diving deep into the book that started it all - Alcoholics Anonymous. In this episode, Dr. Mike kicks things off with the set aside prayer, asking for divine guidance and a fresh perspective. He shares his journey through the Big Book, recounting how he’s read it multiple times over the years, each time uncovering new layers of understanding.
The episode highlights the significance of the Big Book in AA's history, explaining how it came to be known as 'the Big Book' due to its large size and higher price tag compared to other books at the time, like 'Gone with the Wind'. Dr. Mike also delves into the origins of AA, touching on how treatment centres evolved over time and the crucial role the Big Book played in his own recovery journey.
He emphasises that while treatment centres can provide a safe space for initial recovery, the true path to lasting sobriety, for him, lies in following the steps outlined in the Big Book. The episode is rich with historical anecdotes, personal reflections, and practical advice on applying the 12 steps to daily life. Dr. Mike’s passion for the Big Book is evident as he describes it as a treasure map leading to a relationship with God.
