Alcoholics Anonymous The Big Book

the great big book of Alcoholics Anonymous, which I'm a student of, it says we must surrender our identity as an alcoholic and as a drug addict.

They read The Big Book... it's actually just a clock. It was called The Big Book because it was printed on cheap paper. It says flat out this book is mostly stories and we tell stories in the hopes that something in them will catch you and say, gosh, that life is like mine.

There was an op-ed written and a subsequent book written by anonymous

And the allegation was that this guy Joe was a big time higher up Senior official in the Trump campaign excuse me the Trump administration

I said hey listen, yeah, I guarantee you this is a nobody in the White House

So anonymous we know who it is. It's now a guy Miles Taylor by the way Miles Taylor He was a DHS underling

He wrote back in CNN a while ago that he was like a major figure in the Trump world

I try to like- Oh, that's wild. Yeah, I say Dr. Silkworth, you know when he talked about the psychic change and the doctor's opinion in the big book.

Just get the big book the big book

My book starts with a quote from the big book, which is, which is the Bible of AA.

The big book, which is the Bible of AA, was mentioned as the foundational text for Alcoholics Anonymous.

They got Mustapha Suleyman who wrote the big book but co-founded DeepMind with Demis uh they got that core team and uh and they left this little shell you know of inflection for the other investors

If you're thinking about attending [AA], I would suggest you visit a library and get the AA Big Book.

Bill Wilson, the founder of AA famously was doing LSD therapy while sober and writing this book.

That's in the Michael Pollan documentary.

Which is almost godlike, that book is like, wait, where did that come from?

in the preface to the group's 1939 book Alcoholics Anonymous the story of how many thousands of men and women have recovered from alcoholism Dr. William Silkworth calls alcoholism an illness which only a spiritual experience will conquer

The big book of Alcoholics and Nonomus is the guiding text crafted in 1939 by the movements first 100 or so members.

Here's a recording of AA co-founder Bill Wilson, reading in 1963 from a chapter called How It Works.

from the big book of alcoholics anonymous

if we are painstaking about this phase of our development we will be amazed before we are halfway through we are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness we will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it we will comprehend the words serenity and we will know peace that feeling of uselessness and self pity will disappear we will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows self-seeking will slip away fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us we will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us we will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves are these extravagant promises we think not they are being fulfilled among us sometimes quickly sometimes slowly they will always materialize if we work for them

From the big book of alcoholics anonymous,

I think anyone could benefit from reading the big book or the 12 Steps because it's just about kind of becoming a better person.

But you know, you're constantly redoing steps. I was on step four for years on end and I thought I was finally going to be over it.

That's why I highly recommend when someone comes to me in my DMs or, you know, on the streets and they're just like, I think I have a drinking problem. What do you recommend? I do. I'm like first and foremost, get the book and start reading and anything that resonates with you.

Highlight, fold the page, because you will feel like that book was written for you specifically.

It's just teaching you how to be a kind person.

in the big book they talk about this. It's like literally what I experienced. You try to limit yourself right.

you know what it's time to pick up the fucking big book and do better

the book, the big book definitely says that to stop everything, you know, because you don't want to pick up on other tendencies

keep in mind in the big book, they talk about this. It's like literally what I experienced.

I would absolutely sit there and say, here is the big book.

When I say I don't wanna help someone get sober, what I mean is, let's say that I was with someone who was struggling with addiction and we shared a child together. I would absolutely sit there and say, here is the big book.

The big book definitely says that to stop everything, you know, because you don't want to pick up on other tendencies.

I think it's important to talk about. And you know, there's some things that I wrote in my book where people like it made a very interesting and funny headline.
