from Sober Sunrise - AA Speaker Podcast · host Sober Sunrise

Chris S. from Bedminster, NJ speaking on the topic of "Evolution of the Big Book experience" at the Nosara Big Book Workshop in Nosara Playa Guiones, Costa Rica - March 23rd 2012 Visit our website - Sober-Sunrise.com Chris recounts moving from blackout drinking and violence to a Big Book–centered spiritual recovery, insisting that chronically sick alcoholics need thorough step work—not meetings alone—to stay sober. He spotlights a modern AA “renaissance” that treats the Big Book as a true textbook—doing inventories, amends, prayer/meditation, and sponsoring others—with far better outcomes than mere fellowship. Personally, Joe & Charlie and Joe Hawk workshops catalyzed his daily practice and service, leading to lasting sobriety and purpose; professionally, he’s served on a treatment-conference board, interviewed leading clinicians, and now helps spearhead a traveling Big Book study to reach the still-suffering with stronger medicine delivered humbly. Music: Deep by KaizanBlu
