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 1 AA session, Wayne reflects on the loss of trust that often accompanies addiction, both in oneself and from others. By the time many of us reach the depths of our addiction, we find it impossible to rely on anything we say, and the people around us—like probation officers—certainly don’t trust us either. Yet, in the Big Book, we find a remarkable moment where alcoholics and a doctor come together in mutual trust, a concept that often feels foreign to those of us struggling with addiction.
“How many of you, by the time you got through your addiction, couldn’t rely on anything you said? And yet here’s a bunch of alcoholics and a doctor. Imagine—imagine your PO’s, and you can trust anything this man says!”
Wayne explains how the Big Book emphasizes the importance of this trust, noting that the physician who provided the initial letter also offered additional insights in a follow-up statement, showing the collaborative spirit between the medical community and those in recovery. This session underscores the significance of honesty and trust in the recovery process, both with ourselves and with others. As we delve into the physician’s expanded views, we see how critical these elements are to rebuilding our lives and finding freedom from addiction.
