If you or someone you know is struggling with alcoholism, it can be challenging to find hope and support. The Experience the Big Book podcast offers a comprehensive guide for individuals seeking guidance on their recovery journey. Hosted by AA speaker Dr. Mike, this podcast provides specific directions on how to apply the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous in everyday life.
Each episode of Experience The Big Book focuses on a particular section or theme from the AA Big Book and offers insights that listeners can use in their daily lives. Through his thoughtful analysis, Dr. Mike provides practical advice that makes applying these concepts more accessible.
Some episodes are dedicated solely to one step of the program; others delve into themes such as acceptance, faith, loss of control and obsession, character flaws manifestation, self-awareness & limitation of self-knowledge etc., providing listeners with a comprehensive understanding of each topic's role in addiction recovery.
Listeners will learn about William James theory, which suggests that there are two ways people can change: through transformative experiences or by consciously making an effort to change themselves over time. They will also hear about key takeaways from each episode and gain valuable insight into how they can apply these lessons in their lives.
One vital aspect covered is faith's role in alcoholism recovery as highlighted by several episodes discussing spiritual solutions towards sobriety.
Experience The Big Book also covers topics such as establishing a relationship with God and accepting Step One - powerlessness over alcohol - which forms the foundation for all other steps' work towards sobriety.
Dr. Mike uses specific examples from both his personal life experiences and those he has encountered while working with others seeking help during recovery programs throughout his career as an experienced counselor.
The podcast series is not only engaging but informative since it goes beyond typical discussions around general topics related to addiction but rather unearths complexities behind each concept giving listeners deeper insights that help them understand better what needs changing within themselves so they may overcome their addiction successfully.
