What Joe and Charlie did, um for me, was appreciate what, what the preface is and what the forwards are, um and anything before and after page one. Um, you know, you get that information from Joe and Charlie.
Ever heard of Joe and Charlie? These two names might ring a bell if you're familiar with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Joe and Charlie are celebrated for their workshops that dive deep into the Big Book of AA. But who were they, and why are their workshops so revered in the recovery community? In this episode of 'Sober Friends', John I joins the discussion to shed light on Joe and Charlie's legacy.
These two men, who lived miles apart, would regularly meet to dissect the Big Book, making its teachings accessible and practical for those in recovery. Their workshops, which began in the late 1970s, have since become a cornerstone for many in AA, offering clarity and support in understanding the Big Book's principles.
Joe and Charlie didn't just read the Big Book; they brought it to life, breaking down its concepts into digestible parts that people could apply to their own journeys. They emphasized the importance of sponsorship and staying connected with a sober community, believing that a strong support system is key to maintaining sobriety. Today, Joe and Charlie's workshops continue to inspire and educate, providing a safe space for individuals to discuss their struggles and triumphs in sobriety.
If you're curious about these workshops or want to dive deeper into the Big Book, there are plenty of resources available online, from podcasts to study guides. Remember, these workshops are a supplement to AA meetings, not a replacement. Tune in to this episode of 'Sober Friends' to learn more about Joe and Charlie's enduring impact on AA and how their teachings can support your recovery journey.
