A Real Chance to Stop
Drinking Into Oblivion

We've lost too many friends before they ever tried one of the most basic steps. It starts here.

📖 Read or listen to the Big Book
🤝 Try a sponsor & get to Step 3
Bible study or church service
🙌 Volunteer or service work

Daily Practice

Upon Awakening — Every Day

1
Read pages 87 & 88

Open the Big Book each morning and read these two pages before anything else.

2
If you know you're going to drink — act now

Call your sponsor immediately. Go to the nearest meeting right away and share using the words "Burning Desire" — this lets others know you need the floor.

3
Call your sponsor — leave a voicemail

Let them know which meeting you're attending today, or explain why you're not attending. If you need to talk, say so on the voicemail.

4
Attend a meeting with your sponsor

Aim for at least 2 times per week, together.
