Bob and Dan continue to discuss a wide range of topics. They talk about
helping other alcoholics who have recently reached their rock bottom
and how the first few AA meetings tend to be uncomfortable to people
and are met with some denial. Also, they discuss how the fellowship of
AA works to get people sober and help them stay that way. The movie
"Groundhog Day" comes up as fable of which the moral is each day is a
chance to change.

An excellent interview for this episode of Just For Today. Today Dan

his upbringing Bob was exposed to a drinking, pot smoking culture which
enticed him to join in the fun. Into adulthood Bob realized alcoholism
was not fun at all. Bob has been sober for seven years and began his recovery
midlife. Bob and Dan discuss a wide range of topics such as pride and
asking for help, getting to meetings, losing and keeping jobs,
gratitude, bouncing back, and enjoying life again.

Not paying attention to the physical and emotional messages that your
body is sending you can put you into a general feeling of neediness.
Next time you feel that way ask yourself if you're hungry, angry,
lonely, or tired and deal with the issue appropriately and take care of
it. Don't let a little hunger, anger, loneliness or tiredness take away
your sobriety.

In Part Two of Dan's interview with Monica R., the other side of the
coin comes up - trust, letting go, and letting a higher power manage
life. These are the things that enable you to remain sober day to day -
by trusting that life is good and can work without alcohol, and letting
go of the fears that keep us in the bottle.

The first part of Dan's interview with Monica covers guilt,
forgiveness, pride, self-righteousness and other personality
shortcomings that can keep you locked into cycles of addiction and how
following the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous can break these
cycles. Monica has been sober for 15 months as of this interview.

The truth shall set you free, as they say. Today Dan talks about denial
and how it can keep an alcoholic from recovering and healing. Drawing
once again from his own life experiences, Dan shows how being in a
state of denial about some problem in your life will slowly lead to
nothing but trouble and take away your sobriety.

This is the last in series of interviews with AA historian Dick B.
Having suffered from depression well into the fifties, Dick says that
Bill Wilson began to venture into the worlds of spiritualism and
psychedelic drug use including LSD. As Dick's story winds up, Doctor
Bob agrees to the incorporation of the 12 Traditions into the fabric of
Alcoholics Anonymous for among other reasons to assure the ongoing work
of AA after Bill and Bob were gone. Dick talks more about the original
tenets of the Oxford Group and the Akron group and how they have
evolved though various revisions to become what AA is today and he
talks about his feeling that the Biblical roots of AA have been watered
down to appeal to a larger audience. DICK B. BOOKS.

Anita S. is interviewed in this segment of AA Just For Today. She
discusses with Dan her drinking problems as a young adult in college,
suicide attempts, and a marriage, and then her sixteen years of
sobriety. She and Dan talk at length about how surrender to a higher
power is necessary not only at the beginning of the road to sobriety,
but along the way as well. Anita also talks about how when you are
ready for a teacher, the teacher appears, meaning that until you are
ready to surrender to solutions outside of yourself, you cannot see
those solutions even though they may be right in front of your face.
