Alcohol changes me from a duck to an eagle and I like that. They admitted that defeat, they accepted that defeat and they surrendered.
Ever pondered what it truly means to embrace the first three steps of Alcoholics Anonymous? In this episode of Sober Cast, Mickey B from Los Angeles takes you through a lively and enlightening workshop on steps 1-3, originally presented at WACYPAA15 in Las Vegas back in 2012.
Known for his humor and profound message, Mickey dives deep into what makes him an alcoholic, highlighting that it's not just the consequences but how alcohol transforms him from a 'duck to an eagle'. Mickey emphasizes the crucial act of admitting defeat and accepting it, which he sees as the gateway to recovery. He introduces the concept of alcoholism as a two-fold disease: the obsession of the mind and the allergy of the body.
This workshop doesn't shy away from discussing the rock-bottom moments that often lead to what Mickey calls the 'gift of desperation', that pivotal moment when one cries out for help. The role of a higher power is also a key theme in Mickey's talk. He explains how turning one's will and life over to a higher power, as understood individually, can be transformative.
Throughout his workshop, Mickey underscores the importance of surrender and the supportive community found within AA, which plays a vital role in maintaining sobriety. If you're looking for a mix of humor, heartfelt moments, and practical advice on the early steps of AA, this episode is a must-listen. Mickey B's engaging style and relatable insights offer valuable takeaways for anyone on their recovery journey.
