Week 11: How It Works (Part 1) - Tim B. on Surrendering to the 12 Steps

We're in an effort game, not in a results game.
Ever wondered what it really takes to surrender to the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous? In Week 11 of the Big Book Study, Tim B. dives deep into 'How It Works (Part 1)', breaking down each step and its significance. He tackles the common myth that some people can't psychologically surrender to the program, shedding light on the difference between those who can't and those who simply choose not to.
Tim emphasizes that recovery is all about effort, not just results, and explains how self-centered behavior can often lead to chaos and conflict in an alcoholic's life. By focusing on doing God's work and staying close to spiritual principles, Tim argues that individuals can shift their focus away from their own plans and desires, paving the way for successful recovery. The episode wraps up with a powerful question: do you fully concede to your innermost self that you are alcoholic?
Tune in to hear Tim's insights and learn how surrendering to the program can lead to lasting recovery.
