In this episode, we continue our deep dive into the Big Book with Part Two of “More About Alcoholism.” This section pulls no punches — it lays out what makes us different from the “average drinker,” and why self-knowledge, willpower, and good intentions just aren’t enough to stay sober.

We break down the powerful stories in this chapter that show just how cunning, baffling, and powerful alcoholism really is — especially when we start thinking we have it all under control. We also talk about the emotional and mental obsession that keeps alcoholics trapped in the cycle, even when they know the consequences.

Whether you’re working the steps, revisiting the Big Book, or supporting someone in recovery, this episode is packed with truth, perspective, and reminders of why surrender is the beginning — not the end.
