  • Going through the book again through this podcast with Agent X and others has not only been helpful but has really stoked the flame of my own recovery. I've read this book many times but with every revisit I gean something new, but doing it with this podcast has exponentially increased the amount of God juice I get out of this book. Great podcast, great guests!

  • I can’t…polarizing within first 5 minutes

    Agent X claims she won’t be political throughout the podcast but immediately rates her feminism on a scale between To Wives and RBG. Already she puts down part of the Big Book and minimizes anything that may be useful to both men and women as long as they’re intelligent enough to realize that chapter was written over 80 years ago when social norms were different. I’m looking to find more insight into the Big Book - not to listen about how the To Wives chapter is anti-feminist.

  • A solution?

    Like hundreds of A.A. Meetings they talk about everything but the solution, they say over and over there is a solution but you leave still wondering what it is, like talking around the bush the whole time, do they even know what it is?
