Bob D's Workshop: Understanding Step 1 and the Road to Recovery

Everyone in this room right now is in the grip of a craving you're not aware of, and that's the craving to breathe air, and you're not.
What if the first step to reclaiming your life from alcoholism was right in front of you? In this compelling episode, Bob D from Las Vegas leads a workshop on Step 1 of Alcoholics Anonymous. Recorded during an in-person Big Book workshop in Scarborough in August 2022, Bob dives deep into the concept of powerlessness and the phenomenon of craving that many alcoholics face.
He sheds light on the illusions and delusions that keep individuals trapped in their addiction, making it clear that recognizing these barriers is crucial for recovery. Bob's personal experiences and insights make this workshop particularly engaging. He emphasizes the importance of complete surrender and spiritual growth, urging listeners to acknowledge their powerlessness over alcohol. But he doesn’t stop there.
Bob also warns against the dangers of complacency and the need for ongoing involvement in the AA program to battle the spiritual malady underlying alcoholism. This episode is a treasure trove for anyone seeking to understand the nature of alcoholism and the initial steps towards recovery. Whether you're new to AA or have been part of the community for years, Bob's message of hope and perseverance is sure to resonate.
Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of Step 1 and find encouragement on your journey to sobriety.
