Week 4: Step 1 | Bill's Story (Second Half)

Here we consider the Second Half of Bills Story (where he begins to recover) by asking you to take a look at your own willingness to recover today. How? 

Participants underline everything in the Big Book they are not willing to do, that Bill tells us he did, in order to recover.  In the Second Half of Bill's story we consider "What does my own willingness to recover look like today when I read about what Bill did to recover? How willing am I to do what he did, to get what he got"? Be honest and thorough from the very start... More will be revealed...

I mistakenly refer to Bill as the son of a minister when discussing the sentence “ the music had their spheres”. That is not correct, forgive me, I missspoke. I was referring to Bill as a grandson, reflecting on young memories about his exposure to religion and his grandfathers prejudice. I corrected this during the discussion portion of the call, but that piece is not recorded here.

Bill W. was not the son of a minister. He is speaking about how his early exposure to religion snapped his mind shut to what Ebby was saying, and later, through spirituality, how Bill opens it.  Spirituality and religion are quite different, and here we get our first inkling of that.
