Join Wayne Giles as he reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey. In this Step 2 AA session, Wayne delves into the human mind’s natural aversion to trauma and the tendency to avoid confronting painful memories. He explains how our minds instinctively want to abandon traumatic thoughts entirely, which is why many of us kept returning to substances—unable to bring to consciousness the memory of suffering from just a week or a month ago.
“And why do we want to abandon it entirely? So we don’t have to think about it. Because our human minds really don’t like trauma. We don’t like remembering bad things.”
Wayne highlights that this struggle isn’t just about substances like alcohol or drugs—it applies to many areas of our lives. The inability to recall the pain associated with our actions leads us back into harmful patterns, reinforcing the need for a spiritual solution to break free from this cycle. This session encourages participants to confront these painful memories with the help of a higher power, allowing for true healing and transformation to take place.
