Podcasts about more about alcoholism

Family Reconnect Waitlist: https://www.realrecoverytalk.com/frc In this episode, we continue our deep dive into the Big Book with Part Two of “More About Alcoholism.” This section pulls no punches — it lays out what makes us different from the “average drinker,” and why self-knowledge, willpower, and good intentions just aren't enough to stay sober. We break down the powerful stories in this chapter that show just how cunning, baffling, and powerful alcoholism really is — especially when we start thinking we have it all under control. We also talk about the emotional and mental obsession that keeps alcoholics trapped in the cycle, even when they know the consequences. Whether you're working the steps, revisiting the Big Book, or supporting someone in recovery, this episode is packed with truth, perspective, and reminders of why surrender is the beginning — not the end.

Family Reconnect Waitlist: https://www.realrecoverytalk.com/frc In this episode, we dive into Part One of “More About Alcoholism” from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. This chapter hits hard — it forces us to confront the delusion that so many of us hold onto: that somehow, someday, we'll be able to control and enjoy our drinking. We break down the stories and examples laid out in this section, and we talk honestly about how dangerous that kind of thinking can be. If you've ever thought, “Maybe this time it'll be different…” — this one's for you. Whether you're in recovery, just starting your journey, or supporting someone who's struggling, this chapter brings powerful clarity.  Part two is coming soon — but for now, we dig into what makes this section so real, so relatable, and so necessary.

Bill and Gord P welcome you to the fifth episode of the 2024 Big Book Study! Bill and Gord wrap up discussion on the chapter More About Alcoholism which includes the “mental obsession,” and the lies that our disease tells us in active addiction. We then start into the chapter We Agnostics and discussion of the spiritual solution that can restore us to sanity, including how lack of power was our dilemma, making the concession to change and opening the door to a Higher Power. #recovery #sobriety #sober #addicted #soberpodcast #recoverypodcast #theudrcast #spiritualmalady #billwardlife #billwardlifefirstnation #theudrcast #Billwardchangemaker #changemakers #changemaker #thegoddope #underagedrinking #firstnations #drinkingproblem #drinkingsolution #awakening #spiritualawakening #Spirituallity #recoverylife #wedorecover #recoveryispossible #Billw #sobercrew #mentalhealth #mentalhealthsolution #findingmyself #helpingothers #higherpower #meninrecovery #womeninrecovery #alanon #selfhelp #inventory #selfinventory #selfsatisfied #selfexamination #addictionpodcast #alcoholic #aa #ca #na #12steps #12stepspodcast #levelup #bestlife #bestwaytorecover #spiritualmalady #spiritualsickness #step3 Step1 #step2 #step4 #step5 #step6 #step10 #step7 #step8 #step9#step11 #step12 #bigbook #bigbookstudy #fear #anxiety #thebigbook #God #Higherpower #Creator #sobercrew #spiritshome #yycaddiction #suicide #suicideprevention #savepeople #sponsorship #sponsoring #sponsee #alanon

Bill and Gord P welcome you to the fourth episode of the 2024 Big Book Study! Bill and Gord discuss one of the most important chapters in the Big Book—Chapter 3 titled More About Alcoholism. This chapter touches on all three aspects of the disease concept: the physical allergy, the mental obsession, and the spiritual malady. But this chapter explores in depth the mental obsession (or the “insane idea,” the “curious mental phenomenon”), what types of thoughts enter our minds before we take the first drink, how the disease of alcoholism centers in our minds, and why we need a working spiritual solution in our lives to release us from this obsession. #recovery #sobriety #sober #addicted #soberpodcast #recoverypodcast #theudrcast #spiritualmalady #billwardlife #billwardlifefirstnation #theudrcast #Billwardchangemaker #changemakers #changemaker #thegoddope #underagedrinking #firstnations #drinkingproblem #drinkingsolution #awakening #spiritualawakening #Spirituallity #recoverylife #wedorecover #recoveryispossible #Billw #sobercrew #mentalhealth #mentalhealthsolution #findingmyself #helpingothers #higherpower #meninrecovery #womeninrecovery #alanon #selfhelp #inventory #selfinventory #selfsatisfied #selfexamination #addictionpodcast #alcoholic #aa #ca #na #12steps #12stepspodcast #levelup #bestlife #bestwaytorecover #spiritualmalady #spiritualsickness #step3 Step1 #step2 #step4 #step5 #step6 #step10 #step7 #step8 #step9#step11 #step12 #bigbook #bigbookstudy #fear #anxiety #thebigbook #God #Higherpower #Creator #sobercrew #spiritshome #yycaddiction #suicide #suicideprevention #savepeople #sponsorship #sponsoring #sponsee #alanon

Welcome back to UnHammered! In this 23rd episode, Brantt dives into some raw, unforgettable stories from his past. He shares the wild—and reckless—moment he blacked out and grabbed his teammate and good friend Eric Lindros by the neck. Then, Brantt opens up about a harrowing night that involved eating an entire bag of magic mushrooms, only to end up in the hospital. On a more grounded note, he reads from the Big Book of AA, covering the chapter More About Alcoholism, to explore the deep, relentless nature of addiction. Grab a seat and tune in for an episode full of real talk, reflection, and recovery.

Join Joe McDonald as he reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, delving into the critical journey of Step 3 AA. In this session, Joe discusses the importance of fully conceding to your innermost self, as outlined in the chapter “More About Alcoholism.”“Write your own prayer if you want to. But they told you in the chapter ‘More About Alcoholism,' we learned we had to fully concede to your innermost self. That's the first step. You can't do that based on a lie. So if you don't intend to follow through, then you're not going to get any power to follow through. Sometimes a very great one was felt at once. You'll get a signature of the Spirit or something will change the way you live and think as a result of the decision.”Joe's discussion emphasizes the necessity of honesty and the profound impact of genuinely committing to the recovery journey.Join us as Joe McDonald reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey.

In episode #123, Patty continues the Big Book Awakening series by reading Chapter 3, More About Alcoholism, page 42, top paragraph. "They had said that though I did raise a defense, it would one day give way before some trivial reason for having a drink."

In episode #122, Jesse continues the Big Book Awakening series by reading Chapter 3, More About Alcoholism, pages 41, paragraphs 1 and 2. “I went to my hotel and leisurely dressed for dinner. As I crossed the threshold of the dining room, the thought came to mind that it would be nice to have a couple of cocktails with dinner. That was all. Nothing more. I ordered a cocktail and my meal. Then I ordered another cocktail. After dinner I decided to take a walk. When I returned to the hotel it struck me a highball would be fine before going to bed, so I stepped into the bar and had one."

In episode #121, Mary continues the Big Book Awakening series by reading Chapter 3, More About Alcoholism, pages 33-35. "Young people may be encouraged by this man's experience to think that they can stop, as he did, on their own will power."

In episode #120, Luis continues the Big Book Awakening series by reading Chapter 3, More About Alcoholism. “We are like men who have lost their legs; they never grow new ones. Neither does there appear to be any kind of treatment which will make alcoholics of our kind like other men. We have tried every imaginable remedy. In some instances there has been brief recovery, followed always by a still worse relapse.."

In episode #119, Pastor Jose continues the Big Book Awakening series by reading Chapter 3, More About Alcoholism. "MOST OF US have been unwilling to admit we were real alcoholics. No person likes to think he is bodily and mentally different from his fellows. Therefore, it is not surprising that our drinking careers have been characterized by countless vain attempts to prove we could drink like other people. The idea that somehow, someday he will control and enjoy his drinking is the great obsession of every abnormal drinker. The persistence of this illusion is astonishing. Many pursue it into the gates of insanity or death."
