Episode 19: Emotional Sobriety - Stoic Reading November 23rd
Welcome to An Atheist Reads the Big Book of AA Episode 19! Before transitioning into reading from the 12 X 12 and onto the next phase of what this podcast has become I have decided to take a small intermission and read a letter that Bill Wilson wrote to a friend who was suffering from depression. Bill himself had quite the battle with depression and his way of managing that was to work with others. The letter reveals more about Bill's personal struggles with not only depression but with his place in AA and recovery in general. It is a fantastic way to move towards the 12 X 12 (another piece of work that was the result of Bill working through one of his depression bouts).
The stoic reading mirrors some of the message in this letter by asking that we don't harbor attachments as this removes our reasoned choice.
