AA BIG BOOK - CH-5 - HOW IT WORKS - 4TH EDITION

[@krazeemetalchickstewart9961]

I have been sober for 14 and a half years

[@jbellz2041]

Really helps me tune out the hustle and bustle of working in a restaurant, I was able to listen to the whole chapter while prepping salads for customers. I work long 12 hour shifts and sometimes it is hard to sit down and read my big book. Thank you for putting this together.

How cool!

Read the book 📖 . Don't forget who you are and what you are. Go to meetings like it or not. Keep on keeping on and practice what the book says. We will meet each other on the road TO HAPPY DESTINY ❤ KEEP COMING BACK.

[@carolferguson]

Way to go!!

[@patricklena9307]

Off to my meeting now this was a great listen to meditate on before hand.
Those that balk at AA have no idea what they're missing!!!

At some of these we balked, we thought we could find an easier, and softer way, but we could not. I tried to drink wine instead of whiskey I tried to drink beer instead of tequila and the result was nil until we let go absolutely. Just like absolute vodka it's absolute determination to not drink it. This chapter is one of the most important one's to me.

[@coreyst.lawrence4960]

Thank you so much!!!! This program works for those who truly want it. keep fighting the the good fight everyone, you can do this!!!!

[@GeoffSI]

I would go further saying this program is for those who do it. I wanted it for years but wanting it wasn’t enough.

[@SalimaBarzane]

So glad to find these online.

[@gracegaughan8969]

Get a sponsor that has recovered...and work the steps with their guidance Let God or your higher power / your definition be in the driver seat...do a moral inventory.. step four....and keep working the steps going with your sponsor and soon you can start helping ithers, very important!! All the best and let your higher power make and guide your decisions! God bless!!

What we deal with is alcohol, cunning, baffling and powerful

These audiobook selections are so so helpful! The alcoholic's bible for sure!

[@DearLeader850]

You got that right!!

[@GaryRoland-ht4sj]

This book changed my life. I am available to sponsor anyone who is looking to the steps give away what I received in other that you do the same. 🙏🏽

[@Medietos]

I love and cherish the Big Book, it has saved me from despair and relapse and nourished my soul. The part about some who don't heaö because they are dishonest or mentally ill is limited, doesn't feel fair in all cases, although I know B&B were not perfect and did not know everything. it was also easier to heal at that time, the bodies were stronger, we had less poisons and more natural stressors. An important reason can be that someone didn't get the professional help and treatment they needed.

[@kenmacpherson4405]

Clearance C thankyou for drilling this into me every day

[@QuintTheSharker]

Each person is like an actor who wants to run the whole show.

[@carloslainez5795]

Rarely [ have we seen ] a person fail . " Who has thoughroughly followed our path " . " Those who do not recover are people who cannot or will not completely give themselves to this simple program " . " There are such unfortunates " . [ They are not at fault ] . " They seem to have been born that way "

[@danielskimagix]

[@reglagirl5802]

What is the page number where the big book starts to talk about step three selfishness, self-centeredness this is the root of our troubles

Putting adverts on this isn't good, I've never tried to make money out of my 12 step work as I try and follow the traditions.

I’m coming back to AA for my 1,000 time. Any tips from people on how to make it work?

[@ericlarsenhbeleatherworks4992]

Just keep trying. It took me 1000 meetings and almost 4 years but now I have 13 years. Find a good sponsor and do the work.

[@ericlarsenhbeleatherworks4992]

@@Tommy88- my first meeting was in 83. I got sober in 06…..it takes what it takes. I had expectations of my recovery at first. That held me back…….

@@ericlarsenhbeleatherworks4992 Yeah, I’ve been going off and on since 2012, so I guess you have been going longer. What did you expect to happen that didn’t?

[@ericlarsenhbeleatherworks4992]

@@Tommy88- my expectations were that my recovery would be like others…”they had this happen in this time”….but reality is everyone’s recovery is their own. So letting go of what you think should happen, what it should look like etc….has to be let go of.

AA: those who do not recover are those who are incapable of being honest with themselves. also AA: the universe is ruled by an invisible sky monster who can solve your problems.
