Waking Up is freely available on youtube.

Yes, but I was talking about the book, being not such a big fan of audiobooks I prefer to read rather than listen, still good to know it’s there.

Yes, I have the real book.

But I bought mine.

I depend on the pirate bay for a lot of movie and tv entertainment downloads, and books like these are also available there

Waking Up is freely available on youtube.

The book "Waking Up" by Sam Harris is a good explanation of the quieter consciousness beyond default mode network. Harris is a neuroscientist and atheist. Tapping in to that quiet consciousness is very helpful.

Go to work every day.
Clean the AA hall early on Saturday morning.
Empty ash trays even though I don't smoke.
Help people move.
Buy cards for people when they celebrate their anniversaries.
Hang out at the AA hall on Saturday night and watch old men play cards and smoke.
Answer the phone.
etc.

I love the portion on Epigenetics! I can almost feel the truth in this... alcoholism in my family tree + chemical (alcohol) event early in life = onset Chronic Alcoholism.

I had never heard of epigenetics until I did this research. I was astonished and also saw how it affects me.

I wrote a paper on addiction for an English class. I did a lot of research for it and learned a lot. I have copied it here in case anyone is interested: Addiction: Disease not Choice “…addiction … an attempt to shed my existential burden instead of carrying out the struggle…” (12 Rules for Life 323)...

Leaving aside speaker tapes: it is possible to believe in your own higher consciousness without believing in god. The hard question not answered by philosophers or neuroscientists is who or what is consciousness. The part of the brain which is addicted to substances is more like the default mode net...

Online meetings all over the world: https://aa-intergroup.org/oiaa/meetings/

I don’t want to be here, and I feel ashamed even though it’s anonymous.

Welcome to the club. Everyone feels like that at first. You are not special.
I love AA. My life is so incredibly much better. Especially, emotions are better.

Nice. Good job.

Today 31 years ago I hit the wall ...

POSI~!!!! Congrats my friend!

what she said!

You said that you have problems at work and now your sponsor works there. Have you been honest with your sponsor about work in the past (pre-covid)? Will they see how things really are as opposed to what you've said? What are you afraid of besides anonymity?

Congrats
