ep 51 Big Book Study - A Vision for You: Finding Hope in the Big Book

Hey everyone, it's Lisa here, your dedicated guide on this journey called "A Shot Glass of Recovery." Today, we're diving into a topic that's so close to my heart, "A Vision for You," as we embark on Episode 51 of our Big Book Study. And let me tell you, whether you're tuning in for the first time or a seasoned listener, buckle up because it's going to be one transformative ride!

You know those times when you felt utterly alone on this path? Yeah, I've been there. It’s those times that led me to the meetings, sitting on those cold, hard chairs in church basements, only to discover a warmth and understanding I never imagined possible. This episode is all about embracing hope, a theme so beautifully captured in Chapter 11 of the Big Book.

Together, we'll explore the stark contrasts between the joyous conviviality of "normal" drinkers and the heartbreaking wakefulness we experience in our struggles. But it doesn't stop there. We pause, reflect, and dive deep into our personal journeys – the highs, the lows, and the moments of bewilderment, frustration, and despair.

Throughout it all, we share stories, dissect passages, and uncover the steps that bring peace to our racing minds. There's no judgement here, only the kind of understanding that comes from shared experiences. And for those of you just starting out or fearing what lies ahead, remember: you're never alone in this.

We explore the gift of fellowship, where laughter, camaraderie, and genuine connections replace old, harmful habits. Imagine reclaiming your joy through community board games, or finding solace in being alone – safely and contentedly. These are the pockets of joy that await when you let go and let yourself be part of something greater.

So grab your shot glass of recovery, savor the distilled wisdom, and let's navigate this powerful chapter together. Dive in and discover what it means to truly live, unshackled from the past yet enriched by the lessons it brings. Thanks for being here with me, sharing the laughter, the insight, and most importantly, the hope. Until next time, keep embracing your journey. <3
