The Big idea: Big book for all- 12 steps to sanity

00:00-01:02:02

We've all heard allusions to these 12 time-standing steps, but too often they are set aside by the masses for those with a traditional addictions. This week, my anonymous sidekick and I (in proper privacy 12-step from) will take a tour of the twelve step process, learn about a new one day intensive 12 step option, and discuss how these steps can be used to address any and all mental health hiccups -- from anxiety to depression, addiction to apathy, etc etc etc...

This is The Cookie's Side of Crazy on KSquid. Just wanted to open it up right off the get-go. If something triggers you during this hour, feel free to call in. It's 831-900-5773. You can maybe share your own story, ask a question, etc. But yeah, without further ado, we are just going to plunge right in. I wanted to kind of, well, gosh, this is interesting because I usually start off with an introduction. But in the traditional AANA kind of way of doing things, anonymous is the way to go. So I can't really introduce anonymous, but I will kind of set the stage of how this all came about. The other day I got a phone call from a friend of a friend. And as many of you guys know, I personally don't struggle with a substance addiction. I do battle with eating disorder and exercise kind of addictions. But I also co-manage a sobriety house here in Santa Cruz. So I got this call with this just unbelievably excited person on the other line. Introduced themselves because we weren't playing the anonymous role there. And I was just right there. I knew that this person was special. The energy was there for a reason. And she was just lit over the experience she had via intensive, like, fast-paced 12-step weekend. And within the past, I guess, two weeks, three weeks now, we've just become buddies. She's jumped out on the sailboat. She's just like devoted herself. I knew I had to get her on the radio because I just had to kind of get her energy out to you guys too. And in doing so, I realized that a lot of us have heard of the 12 steps. A lot of us have pushed people into recovery, any number of things. We may know a step or two, but we just kind of put it off because maybe we're not addicted to alcohol. Maybe we're not addicted to drugs. But these are 12 steps to basically a better you. So tonight, we're actually going to dive in a little bit with what these 12 steps are. But we're going to let our anonymous friends here kind of share some of their experience with it. And we're just going to open it up to a really formative talk because so many of us are looking for a path, a guide to help us with our own mental health. And, yeah, it just so happens there might be one, and there might be a community for you far beyond any kind of one substance addiction. It can be behavioral. It can be anxiety or depression. But I just wanted to let you guys know off the start that there is a community for you, and that's one of the most valuable things of this, well, this AANA community. So without further ado, I'm going to let these lovely two ladies introduce themselves however they see fit so that I don't mess up the anonymous thing. Hello. So I am Dee, and my friend is here with me for support. I am G. Yep. We are members of 12-step groups, and that's why we're here. I love it. All of a sudden I've just flashed back to if any of you guys know like the old school Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, where he was just going around and he always called people to go by there. What was it? It was, yeah, because it was like, G, C. I love Will Smith. Yeah, Howard, if we get a chance, we might have to play the theme song for Fresh Prince of Bel-Air sometime in here. So, yeah, all right. So tell us a little bit about your story so we kind of get some framework here. Okay. So this is Dee talking, and a little bit about my story may be hard to do because it's been a lifelong battle for me, and it no longer is, which is part mind-blowing and part super-blessing. So the mind-blowing is with like really good joy and peace and direction in my life now, whereas, you know, I can't say that I had that before. And it's definitely through the 12 steps and then really working those steps because I had come in and out for quite a while, like quite a while being since like 2012, and I had really good reasons to change what I was doing. And I never did the steps until like this year, and it's just made all the difference for me. Nice. I love that. Well, you hit some key words there, the first one being work. So oftentimes, yeah, I wish, yeah, look for these, oh, what's the easiest prescription? What's the easiest this? What's the easiest that? Well, these are steps, and if you ever climbed the slightest stairs, like it's not easy. What held you off of jumping in with the 12 steps for so long? For me, it's funny because for me, it was the first step was the hardest one for me. And that step is to admit to our innermost self that we have a problem, that our life is unmanageable, and we have a problem. And I thought, I always thought that I didn't have a problem that I couldn't figure out how to deal with myself. Yeah, self-medicate in any number of ways, and I'm in control. Maybe I do have a problem, but it's my problem, and I'm in control of it. Yeah, there's a part in our book that says to control and enjoy their, I don't know if I can say drinking, but in the big book, to control and enjoy our drinking is a great obsession of every alcoholic. We try any number of ways. Really, it's hilarious, the things that we think will work, but it's a stronghold in our psyche or in our mind, that thinking that we really can figure out a way to do it so it'll work for us. Well, and it's so funny that you say that because a lot of you guys know I'm releasing my eating disorder book coming up, and one of the concepts in that is just this idea of for so long in my life, I have sought, like, I've been scared of losing control, of giving control to somebody else, of surrendering that control. So in essence, what I do is just, and this can go on with the alcohol, the drugs, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, but what it comes down to is because I'm so scared of giving up control, I claim control via food and exercise, but the reality is I've given up full control to something so goofy as food and exercise that now I have no control, period. Yeah, yeah, that's a tough place to be as a human, you know. I think it's in our nature to want to control ourselves, and the other part of it I think that's important to recognize is that in my own opinion, and I should have probably researched this, but I didn't know it was going to come up, but in my opinion, it's in our DNA to not appear different than our fellows, because I think back in the, when we were hunting and gathering or whatever, to be expelled from the group was death, you know, and so we hide those differences. We don't want to magnify them and get asked for help. Yeah, and we're magnified right now with social media and with all these different things. Yeah, our differences can be exposed very easily, so. And that's, I think, why I like the whole idea. I've always, I was super jealous when I had this most recent eating disorder relapse, because all the guys at the house had like two or three meetings a day that they could choose from, and each of those meetings had anywhere from like 10 to 50 people that they weren't different. They would go there and they could have that like me too conversation and oh yeah, I feel the same way, versus the rest of society just fights this battle thinking they're alone all the time, and I stress thinking they're alone all the time, because none of us are alone all the time. We're all dealing with the same thoughts and insecurities, but yeah, I mean, you nailed it, and by diving into these programs, you found a community, you realized you weren't alone. Right, right. I totally hear you, though. I mean, like you said on the sailboat, Ryan said, you know, we're all recovering from something. And, you know, the steps can be taken for any life-controlling issue that one has, or, you know, I've thought to myself several times that like God, everybody should do these steps, because it's a – can I go into it? Yeah. Okay, so basically it's like I've heard it said like today two different ways, and one of the ways is a little harsher than the other, but I'll go – I'll tell you both. One was trust God, clean house, serve others, and that's – when you sum it up, that's really the way I see it. There's another way that somebody expressed it today, and that was give up, fess up, clean up, grow up. Yeah, that grow up one's hard. That hits home. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, there you go. So, yes. So, if 12 steps is too much for you guys, you just got the ticket. You can narrow it down to three, because we love the cliff-noted version in our society. Yeah. But, yeah. Well, and that's too one of the things that intrigued me when I first got to talk to you is this idea of 12 steps in a weekend. And, I mean, I've been working with addiction kind of populations for a long time, and yeah, the – traditionally, I've been working with people who have been in a relationship for a long time, and I've been working with people who have been in a relationship for a long time, and I've been working with people who have been in a relationship for a long time, and I've been working with people who

It's a dream job for me. I work at Emeline at Building K, and I am in reception, and I get to have humility every day, and I have a little teeny tiny part in helping mentally ill people get better. Right, and the thing that most mentally ill people, myself included, simply need is somebody to be nice to. Compassion and understanding and love and patience. Yep, they say in the book that working with others and giving back is the bright spot of our lives. I love it. Oh my gosh. Well, thank you guys so much. We actually knocked off all these 12 steps, not in a weekend, but in less than an hour. This has been the Kooky Side of Crazy with KSquid Radio 90.7, and we will see you in two Thursdays. Thank you, Ryan and guests. A wonderful show, and maybe we'll get it available in our archive, and do tune in. Stay tuned in just two minutes for Bill and Noreen and Jazz Tracks beginning our music programming for the night. Exists today as a bizarre anomaly. We profess to be an electoral democracy, yet we are ruled by a governmental plutocracy. One especially gross example of this incongruity is the overwhelming power of big money over the people's will. By a wide margin, Americans of all political stripes want to ban the distorting force of ultra-rich elites. Yet, nothing. National and state lawmakers take the plutocratic money and promptly bury democratic reforms that would stop the gusher of corrupt cash. An analysis of donations in this year's congressional races shows that this plutocratic perversion of our politics and government has reached absurd levels. Historian Nancy MacLean and public interest advocate Frank Clemente have documented that the two main super PACs trying to put Republicans in Congress got about half of their $188 million election fund from just 27 billionaires. Also, a corporate front that backs GOP candidates, Club for Growth, got nearly $35 million from only 3 billionaires. Thanks to years of congressional stonewalling and the steady partisan stacking of our top courts with corporate ideologues, there is essentially no limits on this purchase of lawmakers. Indeed, the biggest donors are even allowed to undermine democracy in secret, not revealing their identity. Lawmakers elected with this money not only support the billionaires' special interest agenda, which the people don't want, but also are fierce opponents of any reforms to increase voter participation in our governing process, which people do want.
