Life is not always going to go the way that you plan it, and that's okay. You just kind of take the good with the bad, keep moving forward, try to help people, and you get what you get.
Ever wondered if the promises of Alcoholics Anonymous really come true? Shank and Wayne are here to share their take. In this episode of 'Alcoholics Alive!', they dive deep into the famous AA promises, pondering whether these grand claims hold water. Spoiler alert: they believe they do. Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, but always, if you put in the work. Shank and Wayne don't just theorize; they get personal.
They open up about their own paths to sobriety, recounting moments of newfound freedom and happiness. It's not all smooth sailing, but their stories highlight the resilience and adaptability they've gained through AA. Their anecdotes aren't just heartwarming; they're a testament to the transformative power of the program. But it doesn't stop there. Ever heard of the 'Battle of the Books'?
In this lively segment, our hosts pit the last page of the '12 by 12' against Page 164 of the 'Big Book'. It's a fun and insightful comparison that sheds light on the historical context and complexities of AA literature. Shank and Wayne break down these texts with a mix of reverence and critical thinking, encouraging listeners to approach AA's teachings with an open mind.
This episode isn't just for those in recovery; it's for anyone curious about the impact of Alcoholics Anonymous. Whether you're a seasoned AA member or someone looking for hope, Shank and Wayne offer a blend of wisdom, humor, and heartfelt experiences that make for a compelling listen.
