If you really want the life that I'm talking about and Tommy's talking about, then you seek that and you go ask these people: what do they do?
In this episode of THEUDRCAST, Bill Ward takes listeners on a deep dive into Step 1 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. Together with his co-host Tommy, Bill breaks down the concept of the 'Spiritual Malady'—a root cause of self-destructive behaviors like alcoholism and drug addiction. They explore how this spiritual sickness manifests in our lives and discuss the critical role of a Higher Power in the journey to recovery.
Through personal anecdotes and historical references, Bill and Tommy offer a relatable and insightful look at the first step toward healing. The episode also emphasizes the importance of sponsorship and the fellowship of the spirit, providing practical advice for those committed to their recovery journey. Whether you're new to the Big Book or revisiting its teachings, this episode offers a fresh perspective on the foundational steps to overcoming addiction.
