The idea that somehow someday he will control and enjoy his drinking is the great obsession of every abnormal drinker. The persistence of this illusion is astonishing.
Have you ever wondered why alcohol seems to have such a tight grip on some people? In this episode of The Big Book Study, Tim B. tackles the perplexing nature of alcoholism head-on. This week, he dives into the delusions and sheer madness that often accompany alcohol addiction. It's not just about the physical craving; it's the mental obsession that keeps people trapped. Tim B. sheds light on how self-deception and constant experimentation keep individuals powerless over alcohol.
He doesn't just leave it there; he stresses the importance of recognizing this 'great obsession' and finding support through a sponsor or spiritual adviser. This isn't just theory—Tim B. uses direct quotes from the Big Book to highlight these points, making it clear that honesty, open-mindedness, and willingness are crucial for recovery. Whether you're struggling with alcohol yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice to take those first steps towards a better life.
