Reco12 Big Book Roundtable

Welcome to the Big Book Roundtable in the Reco12 family of Recovery Resources targeted at people from all backgrounds, faiths, and places dealing with addictions of all varieties.  Reco12 is also a resource for the loved ones of addicts.  I am Justin B, a child of an all-powerful and all-loving God and a multidisciplinary addict, living in miraculous recovery and am blessed to be the moderator of this roundtable.  I am joined by David G and  Nikki M.  The 3 of us are living in the miracle of recovery, one day at a time.

In today's episode, Nikki, David and Justin snorkel through the  fifth and final part of the Foreword to the Second Edition of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous.  We read and discuss pages xix starting with "While the internal..." through xxi ending in "...road to a new freedom."   There is a LOT of good stuff in here.  Grab your Big Book, pen, and highlighter and get ready to snorkel through with new insights and motivation to press forward, one day at a time.
