I spent months saying the third step prayer, just to keep myself sane, just so I wouldn't lose it right- and came to believe that I had to turn my will in my life over to god.
Ever wondered if your drinking habits don't quite fit the typical 'alcoholic' label? In this episode of the Big Book Awakening podcast, Isaac shares a story that might resonate with you. Unlike the daily drinkers, Isaac loved his weekend binges. He questioned whether he was an alcoholic because his pattern didn't match others'. He even thought he could quit after meeting his wife, but reality had other plans.
After facing the consequences of his drinking, Isaac began to ask himself some tough questions: Why do I drink like this? Why can't I drink like other people? Isaac's struggle wasn't just about the physical act of drinking; it was a mental obsession that convinced him alcohol was his only source of comfort. This delusion led him down a chaotic path until he hit rock bottom.
It was then that he experienced a spiritual awakening, realizing his way of living wasn't working. Through the Twelve Steps program in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, Isaac found a lifeline. He spent months reciting the third step prayer, which helped him maintain his sanity and hope. By surrendering control and turning his life over to a higher power, he discovered the importance of honesty and self-reflection.
He learned to ask himself what he was trying to fix with alcohol. Isaac's journey is a testament to the power of community and support. The Big Book Awakening podcast brings together men and women who have faced similar struggles and found solace in the Twelve Steps. If you or someone you know is grappling with addiction, Isaac's story offers hope and inspiration. Tune in to hear how he transformed his life and found a new way of living.
