A "Man of the Cloth", Jimmy G.'s earliest aspirations were to be in service to the Episcopal Church. Though strict in many ways, when it came to drinking, Jimmy and his friends found plenty of opportunities to raid liquor cabinets across their neighborhood. By his teens, Jimmy was outdrinking his friends. His years in college and then seminary were rife with drinking as Jimmy wrestled with deep-seated feelings that left him at odds with Church teachings. By the time he was ordained as a priest, with the accompanying stress and strain of the job, Jimmy's use of alcohol flew past ordinary use. Without stopping at misuse, he crashed head-on into abuse. Alcoholism that is.... Subsequent years saw Jimmy as a functional alcoholic, doing his very important job with more and more daily support from the bottle. Married with children, Jimmy and his wife somehow managed the outward perception that all was fine in their lives while the upheaval caused by his worsening disease was tearing the family apart.                                                                                                  By 2018, Jimmy had had enough and surrendered to AA and the divine intervention of the higher power demonstrated to him through the people and Program of Alcoholics Anonymous. By working the 12 Steps in earnest, Jimmy has bolstered his spiritual condition to be of maximum service to both his AA family and his parishioners. But I'll let him tell you about that in the next sixty minutes of AA Recovery Interviews with my friend and AA brother, Jimmy G.         If you've enjoyed my AA Recovery Interviews series, have a listen to “Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How More Than One Hundred Men Have Recovered From Alcoholism”. This is the word-for-word, cover-to-cover reading of the First Edition of the Big Book, published in 1939. It's a comfortable, meaningful, and engaging way to listen to the Big Book anytime, anyplace. Have a free listen at Audible, i-Tunes, or Amazon.  I also invite you to check out my latest audio book, Lost Stories of the Big Book, 30 Original Stories Missing from the 3rd and 4th Editions of Alcoholics Anonymous. It's an engaging audiobook I narrated to bring these stories to life for AA members who've never seen them. These timeless testimonials were originally cut to make room for newer stories in the 3rd and 4th Editions. But their vitally important messages of hope are as meaningful today as when they were first published. Many listeners will hear these stories for the first time. Lost Stories of the Big Book is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. It's also available as a Kindle book and in Paperback from Amazon if you'd like to read along with the audio.

Send us a textIn this episode, Matt and Steve take a hard look at We Agnostics, one of the most debated chapters in the AA Big Book. Matt admits he's developing a resentment toward Bill W.'s logic — from comparing God to electricity to invoking Columbus and the flat Earth. Are these inspired metaphors or just sales tactics to get the drunk to believe? The guys talk about where Bill's arguments fall apart, why intent might matter more than accuracy, and how the idea of “contempt before investigation” still holds up today.This isn't about bashing AA — it's about honest recovery, critical thinking, and finding a higher power that actually makes sense to you.Love the show?

In today's Daily Trudge, I'm talking about what keeps recovery alive — us. The Big Book gives us the plan, the Steps give us the path, but it's people who give it a heartbeat. Every time we share honestly, help someone new, or show up when we'd rather not, we keep recovery breathing in the world. We are the heartbeat — carrying hope from one soul to another, keeping this thing alive one day, one meeting, one act of service at a time.

AA circuit speaker R.M. brings recovery to life with her inspiring and skillful delivery. With deep knowledge of the Big Book and the program of Alcoholics Anonymous, she cuts through the noise and speaks directly to the heart of what it means to get sober, stay sober, and create a life of peace.Sobriety Date: 4/21/2006Quotes“Today, I get to live really, really free because of all the work that I've gotten to do around here.”“The 12-step process gives me a set of tools to always get back to feeling free.”Referred by: Anonymous Speaker InstagramFacebook

JESTEŚMY PRZECIW. PYTANIA O INNĄ ROSJĘKsiążki. Rozmowy. Spektakl26 – 28 września 2025Big Book Cafe MDM I WarszawaWeekend inspirowany książkami i opowieściami o sprzeciwie będzie próbą zrozumienia przyczyn, dla których Rosja jest współcześnie wrogiem Ukrainy, Europy i wolności.Oraz okazją do zadania pytań o scenariusze przyszłości, o nieuchronność kursu wyznaczonego przez Putina, a także o los tych, którzy znaleźli się w potrzasku władzy i wielkiej historii.--------------------------------------------------------------------SZTUKA NA INDEKSIERozmowa z WIKTOREM JEROFIEJEWEMZ autorem rozmawiała ANNA KRÓLTłumaczyła z języka rosyjskiego JÓZEFINA INESA PIĄTKOWSKA.Wydarzenie odbyło się 28 września, niedziela, o godzinie 18:00 w Big Book Cafe na ulicy Koszykowej 34/50.Jaki jest los i zadanie artystów oraz pisarzy sprzeciwiających się autorytarnej władzy? Gdzie żyją, o czym piszą współcześni rosyjscy dysydenci. Kto publikuje ich książki, kto je czyta? O tym, komu jest dziś potrzebna literatura sprzeciwu i jakim głosem mówią współcześnie opozycyjni twórcy rosyjscy, a także o światowym bojkocie rosyjskiej kultury, opowiada pisarz i publicysta Wiktor Jerofiejew, który w swoich powieściach bezwzględnie rozlicza się z rosyjską historią i narodową megalomanią, a ostatnio – także z reżimem Putina. W ojczyźnie uznany za skandalistę i prowokatora, od lat żyje, tworzy i publikuje w Niemczech, a w pisarstwie nieustannie zmaga się z mitem „duszy rosyjskiej”.WIKTOR JEROFIEJEW (UR. 1947)Pisarz i publicysta. Autor powieści, opowiadań i esejów. Urodził się w rodzinie radzieckiego dyplomaty (a wcześniej tłumacza Stalina), w dzieciństwie mieszkał w Paryżu. Ukończył studia na Uniwersytecie Moskiewskim, jest doktorem nauk humanistycznych. W 1979 r. był jednym z inicjatorów „Metropolu” – wydanej w drugim obiegu antologii tekstów pisarzy zakazanych przez cenzurę. Został wyrzucony ze Związku Literatów i objęty zakazem druku. Jego książki zaczęto wydawać w Rosji dopiero w 1988 r., po dojściu Gorbaczowa do władzy.Wiele jego tytułów ukazało się w polskim tłumaczeniu, m.in. powieści „Rosyjska piękność”, „Sąd Ostateczny”, „Encyklopedia duszy rosyjskiej”, „Dobry Stalin”, „Akimudy”, „Różowa mysz” oraz zbiory opowiadań „Życie z idiotą”, „Mężczyźni”, „Rosyjska apokalipsa” i „Ciało”.Zaliczany do wybitnych postmodernistów, w prozie uchodzi za skandalistę i prowokatora. Posługuje się groteską i sarkazmem, a jego przewrotna twórczość jest bezwzględnym rozliczeniem z przeszłością i mitami. W literaturze zmienił romantyczny motyw żywiołowej „rosyjskiej duszy” w gorzki obraz społecznej degeneracji i apatii.Mieszka w Berlinie. Publikuje w Niemczech, tam ukazała się m.in. powieść „Wielki Gopnik” o dojściu Putina do władzy. Jako publicysta współpracuje z mediami w Europie oraz USA, m.in. z „Gazetą Wyborczą”, „Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” i „New York Times Book Review”.

Matt J. describes his family tree as “littered with problem drinkers”, of which he became one all too quickly. As an only child, Matt grew up in a home where verbal and physical abuse reigned supreme. By the time his parents got divorced, his coping mechanisms included locking himself in his room with books and baseball cards upon which he could obsess. Such means of escape followed him into his teenage years when he found alcohol as a ready-made solution to his feelings of isolation, fear, and shame. Curiously, at a relatively young age, he reflected on his own drinking and wondered if he needed AA. But such introspection soon passed as he continued to drink more heavily throughout his college years and early business career. With drinking-related problems mounting, Matt's solitary drinking damaged his marriage and job to the extent that suicide appeared an attractive option. Subsequently, though diagnosed with clinical depression, the prescribed medications did little to help as he continued to drink. Financial ruin, in the form of personal bankruptcy finally backed him into a corner from which there was no escape and Matt entered the rooms of AA in 2014. Finding that some of his obsessive nature accompanied him into AA, Matt set about mastering the literature to the point of self-isolation in the Program. Fortunately, some old-timers convinced Matt to get involved in a balanced Program with service and fellowship as the core elements in his sobriety. Since then, Matt's involvement in AA has emanated from the center of the Program. In addition to regular meetings, Matt co-hosts the podcast, Sober Friends, on which I've had the opportunity to appear.   Considering his background, Matt's success in Alcoholics Anonymous is encouraging evidence of the healing and gifts AA holds for those who really want it and who are willing to do the work. Matt's personal level of contentment correlates beautifully with the level of service work he does within his Program and admirably reflects his desire to carry the message to other alcoholics.

Have you ever been working on a big project that spawns lots of little project ideas? This recently happened to me while looking for a new bed for my son. It turned into an entire room remodel and started giving me ideas for changes to make in my own room and entryway, new organization for the kitchen, and more. I see it happen with books, too–working on the proposal, then deciding to start a Substack or a podcast. Creativity begets creativity. Recently, one of my Book Proposal Blueprint students reached out to let me know how much the program benefited her business with new products and writing gigs, even though she was still working on the “Big Book” idea. We decided to bring the conversation to the podcast for a few reasons:  I LOVE catching up with former students I think it's important to hear different timelines and processes when it comes to publishing It's important to focus on the value of what you're learning, even if you apply it elsewhere To bring creative inspiration to people who may feel their book journey is taking too long Listen in as Jenna Zaffino and I chat all things success and obstacles when it comes to chasing your big dream.

Today's podcast is my interview is with Ron B., a man whom I'd just met  at a Friends of Bill W. meeting on an enormous cruise ship earlier this year. As we had both attended floating AA meetings before, neither of us was surprised when the two of us were the only attendees. After talking for a while, I asked Ron if he'd like to share his story of 43 years of sobriety. Seeing it as an opportunity to help others, he immediately said “yes”. So, as the ship made its way from its home port in Galveston Texas to the western Caribbean, Ron shared his captivating story of long-term sobriety. We talked about Ron's childhood and adolescence. It was a mostly normal family in which there was no excessive alcohol use nor verbal or physical abuse. But even as innocuous social use of alcohol portended little fear of becoming an alcoholic, Ron's behavior around booze morphed into full-blown alcoholism by his early thirties. As Ron contended with horrendous physical, mental, and emotional anguish, he was also neck-deep in the diseases' ruinous effects on his family and job. His only two options were to stop drinking or go onto the bitter end. His last gasp for help resulted in a 30-day inpatient rehab, followed by immediate involvement in Alcoholics Anonymous. He stuck around to do the arduous work of building a better life without drinking, staying ever-vigilant of the hideous lures the disease can dangle in the faces of the uncommitted, prideful, uninitiated, or skeptical. In the  process, Ron has put together 43 years of contented sobriety. I feel that you will identify with the valuable mixture of similarities and differences present in Ron's story. So please sit back and enjoy this episode of AA Recovery Interviews with one of my newest ‘Friends of Bill W, fresh off the ship and here for you: Ron B.

In this "Hope for the Family" episode, Kate Dorff shares her experience on how she came to understand alcoholism as a disease, healed from her father's alcoholism and found freedom from anger through working the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. The Magdalen House is a 501c3 nonprofit organization helping alcoholics achieve sobriety and sustain recovery from alcoholism at no cost and based on 12-Step spiritual principles.

Send us a textWhat if the thing you're most afraid to say is the exact key that unlocks your freedom? That's where we start: with a prayer, an intention to be real, and the kind of honesty that makes sobriety livable at home, not just in a meeting.We trace the Big Book's roots back to the Sermon on the Mount, 1 Corinthians 13, and the Book of James to show why action-based faith beats white-knuckling every time. Step One gets clarified—powerless and unmanageable are two different admissions—and Steps Four and Five come alive as the place where secrets lose their grip. You'll hear why “you're only as sick as your secrets” isn't a slogan but a strategy, how to choose a sponsor who takes you through the work (and when to switch), and why humility shows up best as gratitude in motion.This conversation is family-deep. The wives speak openly about what changed: patience, fewer assumptions, and honest check-ins about triggers, fatigue, and trust. We lay out practical guardrails for real-life tests—travel, all-inclusive settings, old routines—and name the “Big Three” that keep sobriety stable: prayer, fellowship, and working with others. We also tackle amends with nuance—owning your part while holding firm boundaries around harm—plus a crucial warning about over-serving until home suffers. Tradition One gets personal: protect unity by protecting your capacity.What stands out most is the texture of hope: a teenage son modeling integrity, laughter breaking tension, and the reminder that vulnerability isn't weakness—it's the doorway to relief, connection, and a marriage that actually grows. If you're early in recovery, a spouse trying to support well, or someone stuck between dry sober and truly free, there's something here you can use today.If this conversation helped, share it with one person who needs it, hit follow so you never miss an episode, and leave a quick review—what truth are you ready to say out loud?Thank You for Joining Us..

In today's Daily Trudge, I'm talking about “Thousands of Founders!” The Big Book reminds us that we are not just members — we're founders of our own recovery. Every time one of us shares, helps someone new, or carries the message, we become part of that original spark that started this whole thing. In this episode, I dig into what it means to live like a founder — with responsibility, passion, and gratitude — and how keeping that spirit alive is what keeps recovery strong for the next person coming in the door. We don't just inherit this program — we help build it, one act of service and honesty at a time.

Donna J has been sober since August 5, 2000. Her recovery began in New York City, where alcoholism led her into darkness until a Power greater than herself set her free. Guided by strong sponsorship and the teachings of the Big Book, she leads online Big Book workshops, sponsors others, and remains active in AA and now also in CA. She strives to live each day in Steps 10, 11, and 12, and is honored whenever asked to speak at meetings, conferences, or workshops across the United States and abroad—carrying the message of freedom and hope wherever God leads.Reco12 is an open-to-all addictions and afflictions organization, dedicated to exploring the common threads of the differing manifestations of alcoholism; sharing tools, and offering hope from those walking a similar path.

In today's Daily Trudge, I'm diving into the Big Book chapter “To Wives.” This section isn't just for the spouses of alcoholics — it's a powerful look at how addiction affects the people who love us most. In this episode, I break down the message behind “To Wives,” what it teaches about patience, boundaries, and healing, and how both sides of the relationship can find recovery and peace. Whether you're the one getting sober or the one loving someone through it, this talk explores the compassion, honesty, and growth that come when we face this disease together.

Ray's difficult road to sobriety was paved with many failed attempts to get sober over the years. Each attempt was thwarted by the belief that his situation was somehow different than the people he met in 6 different treatment centers and sporadic AA meetings. The similarities of his loneliness and wanting to fit in were eclipsed by the differences he saw in his social standing and material advantages he enjoyed via his family of wealth and privilege. Each alcoholic debacle he encountered over the years, such as totaling 3 new BMWs and facing multiple DUI charges, was met by his parents' earnest, yet enabling, efforts to bail him out of trouble. After each extrication, Ray's half-hearted commitments to sobriety were accompanied by fabulous business opportunities that were viewed by all as some kind of antidote to his worsening alcoholism. Though he did quit drinking, he continued to use marijuana and his behavior didn't change at all. The resulting downward slide, unaided by family help in the end, brought Ray both business ruin and ruptures in all of his relationships. He finally came back to AA. Though he encountered a few more slips along the way, he got a sponsor, worked the steps, and was ultimately able to claim his last sobriety date in 2009. The gifts of sobriety have been many for Ray over the years and, most importantly, they've been gifts of similarity shared with his fellows in the Program. Instructive, too, have been the severe challenges he has faced, including his battle with a form of lymphoma that many people don't survive. Through it all, Ray has developed a deep love for the Program and an unwavering commitment to service work. Especially during the Covid pandemic, when his co-morbidities made it impossible for live meetings, he has been instrumental in setting up and managing a number of Zoom AA meetings around the country. Thankfully, his is the first face of recovery that many new AA members encounter when they log onto Zoom for their first meeting. I'm grateful to have Ray in my life and appreciate all he does for our AA community. I think you'll find his story to be both encouraging and illustrative. So settle in for the next hour or so while you enjoy the inspiring words of my good friend and AA brother, Ray O. [This Encore Interview was originally released December 1, 2021 as Episode 54 in the AA Recovery Interviews podcast series.] If you've enjoyed my AA Recovery Interviews series, have a listen to “Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How More Than One Hundred Men Have Recovered From Alcoholism”. This is the word-for-word, cover-to-cover reading of the First Edition of the Big Book, published in 1939.

Send us a textA wedding speech that kept getting soaked with tears. A 911 call that saved a friend who doesn't remember it. A sponsor who hits a wall because “please in the morning, thank you at night” turned into “I'll get to it later.” This one is unfiltered and full-hearted. We invited our wives back to talk about what balance really costs in recovery, marriage, and work—and how gratitude becomes more than a feeling when God moves to the center of the room.We trace the arc from rehab to real life: why plans after discharge have to be about staying sober, not fixing everything at once. We unpack the Serenity Prayer as a practical blueprint—accept what you can't control, take courageous action where you can, and ask God for the wisdom to know the difference. Steps 10 and 11 take front seat, too: daily inventory to keep ego from calcifying, and prayer and meditation to keep conscience contact current. Along the way, we get honest about burnout, boundaries, and why a weekly “no commitments” day can save a marriage. There's laughter—a double-yolk “three-egg” omelet that wrecks a planner's brain—and there's real talk about grief, faith, and leading at home without becoming a martyr to the calendar.Our wives ground the conversation with what it felt like to carry the house, then slowly hand leadership back over years, not months. They ask for what matters: presence, humility, and follow-through. We share how physical practice (hello, jiu-jitsu) helps bleed off stress, how scripture and the Big Book align in surprising ways, and how faith becomes family culture when we live it instead of posting it. If you're wrestling with work pressure, recovery service, marriage rhythms, or just trying to be spiritually fit without faking it, this conversation meets you where you are and points you toward progress, not perfection.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review. What small practice keeps you steady right now? Tell us—we're listening.Thank You for Joining Us.. Please share with friends.

Matt D spent the better part of a decade in an obsession that took him to some very dark places. Fueled by alcohol and drugs, he determined to find evidence of his wife's infidelity, driving himself insane in the process.Through the principles he learned in S-Anon, specifically with the help of a growing and thriving group of men in the program, he learned that although his wife's disease was a problem, it wasn't HIS problem--that his serenity was contingent upon the remission of his own chronic disease.He worked the steps aggressively, and within three months, he was surprised to discovere he was living the life that he'd always prayed God would give him.Now, four years into the program, he can say, without reservation, that his wife's sexaholism is the best thing that has happened to him.Reco12 is an open-to-all addictions and afflictions organization, dedicated to exploring the common threads of the differing manifestations of alcoholism; sharing tools, and offering hope from those walking a similar path.

[This is an encore of Episode 84 originally released June 29, 2022] Alcoholism nearly ended Justin's marriage and his career as an airline pilot. Then he found sobriety and recovery in Alcoholics Anonymous.  Raised in a family rife with alcoholics, Justin's role model was a father who suffered with alcoholism and co-occurring mental health issues, and ultimately committed suicide. Though warned by his mother about the family proclivity for alcoholism, Justin continued to ramp up his drinking throughout high school and college. By the time his career as an airline pilot took off, so did his drinking. To quell any concerns from fellow pilots and crews that he might be drinking too much, Justin became a solitary drinker. He never drank on the job, but his after-hours and days off were spent drinking in hotel rooms and at home. Still, he functioned well-enough to start a family and keep his job amidst umpteen promises that he would cut back and control his drinking. But those promises turned hollow as each attempt to stop inevitably ended with still more drinking. When Justin first found AA, he made a half-hearted attempt to get sober. But four months in and none of the work done, Justin figured he'd gotten all he could from AA. So naturally, he decided he could drink like a normal man. With that first drink, his disease re-surfaced with vengeance and his life went into a tailspin. Justin hit his bottom when his wife expelled him from their home. Fortunately, he turned to his pilot's union and employer for help. He was immediately whisked away to an inpatient rehab facility followed by an intensive outpatient treatment and aftercare program. Though his medical certification was revoked and he could no longer fly, Justin persevered in treatment. He rejoined AA and began to seriously work the Program. His new commitment to AA was replete with sponsor, step-work, meetings, book study, prayer, and service. As sober days passed, his accountability to his wife, his Program, his employer and the FAA were re-established while he concurrently fulfilled the rigorous requirements to re-instate his certification to fly. Two years later, Justin has become firmly entrenched in AA and is a regular member of several meetings I attend. He does Zoom meetings and live meetings wherever he travels. He has a sponsor to whom he remains close, and sponsors other men to keep himself sober. The gifts that Justin has realized from the Program include getting his marriage back intact and being reinstated to his job as a trusted pilot for a major airline. Justin's enthusiasm for AA and his infectious smile naturally draw newcomers and old-timers into his life. His story is timeless and continues to generate hope, especially for those in his profession, who reach out for his help. His two years of experience shared within the fellowship are invaluable to those who want it. It's with real gratitude that I offer you this exceptional episode of AA Recovery Interviews.
