The delusion that we are like other people, or presently maybe, has to be smashed. But it also is a slang word for very drunk, which is kind of interesting. But for now Bill Wilson is summarizing everything he's going to tell us later on in this chapter that the disease of alcoholism can never be controlled and we will persist in this illusion and we will pursue it to the gates of insanity or death.
Ever wondered why alcoholism seems so impossible to control? In this episode of the '12 Steps of Recovery' podcast, Ilya unpacks the first crucial step in overcoming alcoholism. He dives into the complexities of the alcoholic mind, shedding light on why this disease is so cunning and powerful. Through his own candid experiences, Ilya illustrates the relentless obsession that alcoholics face and the futile attempts to control their drinking.
He stresses the importance of accepting that alcoholism can never be managed or enjoyed like it is for non-alcoholics. The episode underscores the need to work steps one, two, and three consistently, not just during crises. Ilya warns against the dangerous illusion of control, which often leads to devastating consequences. He also highlights the necessity of remembering past experiences to avoid falling back into old patterns.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of alcoholism and the relentless grip it has on the mind. Tune in for a raw and insightful discussion that offers both clarity and hope for those on the path to recovery.
