Our real illness is a spiritual illness that they don't get to in the big book until page... you have to be defeated to self-centeredness and realize you need a god-centered life, and you won't do that until you're completely defeated.
Ever felt like you’re fighting a losing battle against alcohol? In this episode of 'Experience The Big Book', Dr. Mike unpacks pages 22-24 of the AA Big Book, shedding light on why alcoholics can't rely on willpower alone. He explains that the craving for alcohol sets those struggling apart from casual drinkers, making complete abstinence essential. Dr. Mike stresses that the real solution lies in surrendering to a higher power and embracing a God-centered life.
He walks listeners through the first 164 pages, offering a detailed, line-by-line exploration to help them grasp each step's true meaning and how to take action. With his compassionate and relatable style, Dr. Mike emphasizes that seeking God and working the steps swiftly can start to bring about powerful changes. He shares that being in the 'world of the spirit' with God provides a safe haven from drinking.
The grace of God is available, but it requires ongoing effort to maintain it. Dr. Mike wraps up with a powerful reminder: while we have no defense against alcohol on our own, aligning with God’s will can offer true protection and recovery.
