Join Wayne Giles as he reads and expands on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, offering deeper understanding and practical advice for those on their recovery journey. In this Step 1 AA session, Wayne reflects on the challenging task of truly understanding alcoholics and addicts, especially for those who are new to this way of life. Drawing from his experiences at a substance use facility, Wayne highlights the common surprise among staff members at how alcoholics and addicts behave.

“Moderate drinkers have little trouble in giving up liquor entirely if they have good reason for it. If a sufficiently strong reason—ill health, falling in love, change of environment, or the warning of a doctor—becomes operative, this man can also stop or moderate, although he may find it difficult and troublesome and may even need medical attention.”

Wayne emphasizes that, unlike moderate drinkers, true alcoholics and addicts struggle far more with control, often baffling those who don’t fully grasp the depth of the disease. This session underscores the importance of developing a deep understanding of the nature of addiction as a foundation for effective recovery.
