In this episode, we sit down with Erik to talk about the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous and why it’s been such a huge part of his recovery. Erik opens up about his journey, sharing the real struggles he faced when getting sober and how the lessons in the Big Book helped him through tough times. He talks about what it took to stay on the path and how the book continues to guide his everyday life.

We’re also excited to announce our live Big Book study starting on January 6, 2025! Every Monday, we’ll go through the book together, breaking it down so it’s easy to understand and apply. This study isn’t just for people in recovery—it’s for anyone who wants to learn more about the principles of the Big Book. Family members and loved ones are especially encouraged to join, as it can help them understand what their addicted loved one is going through and how they can offer better support.

Erik also clears up some of the common myths about the Big Book. Many people think it’s only for alcoholics, but the truth is, anyone can benefit from its teachings if they take the time to dig in. Whether you’re in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the Big Book, this episode is packed with honest insights and practical advice.

Don’t miss this conversation—it’s a chance to hear how the Big Book has changed lives and how it might just change yours, too!
