Dr. Mike highlights the importance of a meticulous, line-by-line study of the Big Book, encouraging listeners to fully grasp each step to enhance their recovery journey.
He also addresses current challenges within AA, such as the diverse stages of surrender among newcomers and the rise of treatment centers.

This episode is a heartfelt reminder of the enduring power of the AA Big Book and the vital role of sponsorship in guiding individuals towards sobriety.
