The fact is that most alcoholics, for reasons yet obscure, have lost the power of choice in drink. Our so-called will power becomes practically nonexistent. We are without defense against the first drink.
Imagine feeling utterly powerless against something that controls your life. That's the crux of Chad's story in this episode of 'Big Book Awakening'. Chad opens up about his relentless struggle with alcoholism, detailing the mental obsession and the cunning nature of the first drink. He doesn't shy away from discussing his numerous relapses and the toll his addiction took on his relationships and health.
Through his candid narrative, Chad reveals the harsh reality that many alcoholics face: the loss of willpower and the inability to remember the pain caused by drinking. But his story doesn't end there. Chad also shares how the Twelve Steps program became a beacon of hope for him, guiding him towards self-reflection, honesty, and accountability. He emphasizes the importance of spirituality and surrendering control to a higher power.
Chad's journey is a testament to the power of vulnerability and the strength found in seeking support from others. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of struggle, recovery, and the transformative power of the Twelve Steps.
