Reading from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, Joe shares powerful stories and raw experiences from those in recovery. He stresses the importance of getting real with yourself and shedding old ideas to pave the way for genuine recovery.
With a mix of humour and hard truths, Joe asks tough questions like, 'How many of you have tried to hold on to your old ideas?' and shares that the result is often zero progress until you let go completely.
