Visit http://www.youtube.com/gcbhswellness for more recovery methods and ideas....This is an intensive 12 Step Study Lecture, performed over the course of an entire weekend, guiding us through the first 165 pages of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous.
If you want what we have to offer and are willing to go to any lengths to get it, then you are ready to take certain steps. At some of these we hesitated. We thought we could find an easier softer way, but we could not. With all the earnestness at our command we beg of you to be fearless and thorough from the very start. Some of us tried to hold on to our own ideas but the result was Zero until we let go absolutely. Remember that we deal with alcohol; cunning, baffling and powerful. Without help, it is too much for us. But, there is one who has all power, some of us call it The Spirit of the Universe but you may call it anything you like! Whatever you choose to call it...you must find it Now! Half measures availed us nothing! We stood at the turning point. We asked for protection and care with complete abandon. Here are the steps we took as suggested for the program of recovery...(paraphrased by me from The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, Chapter 5 - How it Works).
