In Part 1 of "A Day in the Big Book", Linda shares her deeply personal journey through the first two steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, bringing to life the raw, transformative power of surrender. She describes how, for years, she convinced herself she didn’t have a drinking problem—until she woke up one morning knowing she was dying inside. With honesty and warmth, she talks about the desperation that led her to her knees and how she found hope in the pages of the Big Book. Linda explains how her sponsor guided her through Step One, helping her see that her life had always been unmanageable, even when it looked good from the outside. In Step Two, she wrestles with doubt, realizing that while she believed in God, she wasn’t sure He believed in her. Through the guidance of AA and the willingness to set aside old ideas, she begins to open up to the possibility of a power greater than herself, setting the stage for the spiritual awakening to come.
