Do the steps work?  Here, I share my thoughts and  experience.... and my corn muffin analogy.

I used to blame almost every thought I had on my alcoholism. When alcoholism according to the Big Book was shown to me, I stopped doing that and everything about my life and my sobriety changed. My books. My Instagram. 

For years, I deeply believed that God wanted me to be miserable. I don't feel this way anymore. In this episode I talk about all this. Books . Fun stuff . Instagram .

In this episode , I read an e-mail from a listener and discuss how I went through the Big Book in the way that really changed my life some thirty years ago. 

In this episode I read about self-sufficiency from the book, Twelve Steps & Twelve Traditions . It describes non-alcoholics as filled with fear and anger, and poetically opines that self-centeredness will destroy us.  I feel very fortunate that drinking bullied me into not living by self-propulsion.

For many years I believed deeply that God wanted me to be boring and constrained, forever doing things univiting or undesirable.  Here I read from Emmet Fox, and from the Big Book, and I discuss my experience.
