Sound Bite Contest, Exposing a Corrupt Treatment Program, The Weekly Whine, Stupid Criminals and SCRATCHING THE SURFACE OF STEP FOUR. These are the topics we will be discussing on this week’s Take 12 Recovery Radio Show with Co-Hosts Toni J., Denver W., Marv R., and the Monty’man. Closing song: Banking On Forever by Dave Aaron IMPORTANT NOTE: The word "disease" only appears once in the first 164 pages of the Big Book. It is important to note that the first 164 pages are the program of action AA suggests in order to recover from alcoholism. The personal stories to follow are not the "Program" they are simply personal stories of experience, strength & hope. The word does appear again in the personal stories Bill W. said, “Henrietta [wife of A.A. Number Three, Bill Dotson] the Lord has been so wonderful to me, curing me of this terrible disease that I just want to keep talking about it and telling people.” [Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th ed., 2001, p. 191]
