Real Recovery Talk 541: Big Book Study: How It Works Part 1
Do you have a family member/loved one who struggles with addiction?: https://www.realrecoverytalk.com/frc
In today's episode, Erik takes us through the first half of How It Works from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. This is one of the most read and quoted sections in all of AA — but do people really understand what it's saying? Erik breaks it down line by line, shares how it applied to his own recovery, and calls out some common ways people misinterpret this chapter. If you've ever wondered why "rigorous honesty" is so emphasized — or if you've gotten hung up on words like "spiritual awakening" — this episode will give you a deeper understanding. Part 2 coming soon!
