Family Reconnect Waitlist: https://www.realrecoverytalk.com/frc In this episode, we dive deeper into We Agnostics, continuing the conversation around developing a relationship with a Power greater than ourselves. This section of the chapter challenges us to look at our past beliefs—or lack thereof—and how those ideas may have blocked us from getting sober. We break down the spiritual logic laid out in the Big Book, discuss how fear and ego can keep us stuck, and explore what it really means to be open-minded when it comes to spirituality in recovery. Whether you're new to the steps or revisiting them, this part of the study will help you connect the dots between willingness, faith, and the foundation for lasting sobriety.

Family Reconnect Waitlist: https://www.realrecoverytalk.com/frc In Week 9 of our Big Book Study, we dive into the first half of We Agnostics — one of the most pivotal and misunderstood chapters in Alcoholics Anonymous. This section speaks directly to those who struggle with the idea of a Higher Power, offering both challenge and invitation. We break down how the Big Book addresses resistance, doubt, and past experiences with religion, and why belief doesn't have to come all at once — or look any certain way. If you've ever thought, “I want recovery, but I'm not sure about all this God stuff,” this is the episode for you.

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

What a great talk by Dr. Jamie Marich based on her studies, practice and lived experience with addiction, recovery, the 12 Steps and Trauma. Hosted/introduced by Zanner, Jamie tells the ICSAA 2024 Orlando crowd that they had their Dr. Jamie Marich dress and PowerPoint professional presentation upstairs; after sitting through day one's chill-vibe, she thought that frayed gene shorts, a "Sober is Sexy" T-shirt and a talk from the heart was more in order. Not only is Dr. Jamie a recognized clinical professional and author, but their candid shares from lived experience as a trauma survivor and a person with mental health challenges in long-term recovery from addiction. Unafraid of controversy, she will also boldly speak to where her field and society at large gets it wrong about mental health and recovery. Her multi-layered perspective allows her to feel at home in front of diverse audiences as she addresses how to heal our history of wounding in new and creative ways that lead to emotional, spiritual, vocational, and interpersonal flourishing. https://jamiemarich.com/The International Conference of Secular AA first started in Santa Monica in 2014, then called We Agnostics & Freethinkers International AA Conference, went to Austin in 2016, Toronto 2018, online (Zoom) 2020 (when Washington was cancelled due to COVID), 2021, 2022, 2023 and live again in Orlando September 20th to 22nd in Orlando.

In this powerful session, we delve into the chapter ‘We Agnostics' from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, tackling the challenges of skepticism and unbelief in the recovery process. Understanding the necessity of finding a higher power to overcome addiction, we explore the importance of setting aside prejudices and focusing on the personal experiences gained through self-discovery. This video highlights how moving through skepticism is not about adopting predefined notions of spirituality but about opening oneself to new experiences that can lead to transformative power. Join us as we discuss strategies for embracing this journey, even when doubts persist, and how laying aside our preconceived ideas can facilitate a profound connection with a power greater than ourselves. Tune into our YouTube channel every Thursday at 7:00 p.m. AZ time for more insights into navigating the complexities of belief and unbelief in recovery.Join us for more inspiring recovery stories and transformative insights.Check out our website at: www.positionofneutrality.orgYouTube:http://www.youtube.com/@positionofneutrality721Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PositionOfNeutralitySpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3mGbAbcacTs83RhMsv6FmY?si=6531e7adfdbb480eRSS: Position of Neutrality | RSS.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@interactivestepexp?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc#PositionOfNeutrality, #RecoverySuccess, #TransformationJourney, #PersonalAchievement, #SobrietyWins, #SexualHealthInRecovery, #BalancedApproach, #JoeMcDonald, #BrianReinhart, #WayneGiles, #EricReinhart, #DeniseMcDonald, #JoeTeaches, #DeepRecovery, #MoralInventory, #AddictionRecovery, #HealingJourney, #StepFourWork, #SpiritualAwakening, #HonestSelfAssessment, #RecoveryTools, #BreakingTheCycle, #LifeAfterAddiction, #SobrietyPath, #RecoveryStrength, #EmotionalHealing, #AccountabilityInRecovery, #OneDayAtATime

In episode #125, Joshua continues the Big Book Awakening series by reading from Chapter 4, We Agnostics, page 49 (paragraph 2) through page 57. "We, who have traveled this dubious path, beg you to lay aside prejudice, even against organized religion. We have learned that whatever the human frailties of various faiths may be, those faiths have given purpose and direction to millions."
In episode #125, Oliver continues the Big Book Awakening series by reading from Chapter 4, We Agnostics, page 48, "The prosaic steel girder is a mass of electrons whirling around each other at incredible speed. These tiny bodies are governed by precise laws, and these laws hold true throughout the material world. Science tells us so. We have no reason to doubt it. When, however, the perfectly logical assumption is suggested that underneath the material world and life as we see it, there is an All Powerful, Guiding, Creative Intelligence, right there our perverse streak comes to the surface and we laboriously set out to convince ourselves it isn't so."
In episode #124, Joshua continues the Big Book Awakening series by reading from Chapter 4, We Agnostics. "IN THE PRECEDING chapters you have learned something of alcoholism. We hope we have made clear the distinction between the alcoholic and the non-alcoholic. If, when you honestly want to, you find you cannot quit entirely, or if when drinking, you have little control over the amount you take, you are probably alcoholic. If that be the case, you may be suffering from an illness which only a spiritual experience will conquer."
Completing Chapter 4 - We Agnostics page 56 (paragraph 4: "Thus was our friend's cornerstone fixed in place.") through the end of the chapter on page 57 and beginnng Chapter 5 - How It Works through page 58 (paragraph 2: "... then you are ready to take certain steps.")
