Big Book Study

With an Ipod Edition, I am studying the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous once again. Speaker MP3's are all over the internet! From the Common Solution and the Planned Program of Action we each can gain new insight into helping those who cannot help themselves.

Listening to Joe and Charlie once again; I had the tapes for years, but now on they are downloaded to my Ipod has reawakened my sober life. It is hard to forget Charlie mentioning that more people die in the rooms of AA than ever before. Why? They do not get the planned program of recovery. They make a start and fall and we are not there to pick them up. When was the last time we were long suffering with one of our Pigeons who kept getting drunk?

My daily mediation today starts with a gratitude list, followed by study in the Big Book while following Joe and Charlie and finally a listening time and prayer. It is working.


I am a better man when I do the footwork today.
