Ever wondered how the journey through AA's steps 5 to 7 can transform a life? Chad P's heartfelt talk at the 'Don't Sweat the Summer' Big Book Workshop is a testament to the power of these steps.

His candid recounting of how he worked through these spiritual exercises reveals that it's not about finding God, but rather freeing oneself from internal blocks.
Alongside tales of personal surrender and transformation, Chad talks about the influence of mentors like Charlie and Mark Houston, who opened his eyes to the profound impact of the Big Book. Through his engaging storytelling, Chad highlights how relationships can serve as a mirror, revealing areas for personal growth. He shares insights into how living with another person can be both a challenge and a blessing, offering opportunities for healing and deeper understanding.

If you're curious about how these steps can lead to profound personal change, Chad P's journey offers both inspiration and practical wisdom.
