These steps are impossible if I am using benzos, weed, anything else. It told us, unless we have a psychic change- Dr Silker said this- is very little hope of our recovery.
Feeling overwhelmed by the first step in your recovery journey? In this episode of the Intensive Big Book Study, David G, Mark B, Minor A, Nance F, and other dedicated members of the study group tackle Step 1 of the 12-step recovery program. The episode kicks off with a set-aside prayer and a commitment to stay engaged throughout the series. The discussion then moves to personalizing statements from the Big Book and exploring 'The Doctor's Opinion' by William Duncan Silkworth.
This part of the book lays the foundation for understanding addiction and its grip on the mind and body. The hosts emphasize the critical need for a spiritual awakening and the pitfalls of half-hearted solutions. They also delve into the mental obsession that often accompanies addiction and why a complete psychic change is essential for recovery. With a mix of personal stories and practical advice, this episode offers a comprehensive look at taking that crucial first step towards sobriety.
If you're looking for hope and guidance in your recovery journey, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.
