So my friends pointed out to me tonight that I've been using the term "Big Book" a lot in my blogs. By using this term, I'm not talking about the Bible. That's a book I simply haven't picked up since high school, I think. No, the Big Book is the AA's nickname for the book that's actually called Alcoholics Anonymous. It has a lot of great info on how AA works, how it came about, and how it can continue to work. Not only that, but it has stories of people. These stories are actually between 65 and 80 years old, but a lot of them could be written by me or any other alcoholic I know. It is our Bible in the program, and can be very scary and very enlightening at the same time. Both feelings are conjured in me because of its relevance.
As well, I tend to talk more about GOD, but it's not who you think. Quite frankly, I'm kinda a believer that something or someone is out there, but I'm not sure who. And recently, I'm realizing what connotations the word God can have, politically, emotionally and spiritually. The GOD I think about when we use the term "God" or "Higher Power" in the program is actually the "Gathering of Divinities". Buddha, Jesus, Confucious, Earth...I think they all play a part in my spirituality, in some way. And that is all I have to say about that. ;)
