Scott & Matthew share how deeply the Big Book and the Doctor’s Opinion shaped their recovery since November 28, 1997. They reminded everyone that sobriety isn’t just about abstaining but about studying and applying the Big Book as a true textbook, not just a self-help read. They traced AA’s growth from a handful of members to millions worldwide, highlighting the role of Bill Wilson, Dr. Bob, and even moments like Bill’s phone calls at the Mayflower Hotel as acts of “willingness to go to any length.” Scott emphasized that the Doctor’s Opinion is the foundation of the first step—understanding the body’s allergy, the mind’s obsession, and the spirit’s malady—and warned that ignoring it leaves alcoholics at risk of drinking again. With energy and humility, he underscored that AA’s power lies in one alcoholic helping another, that traditions and unity came out of necessity, and that the book—not opinions—is the lifeline that turned a fledgling group of 100 into a global fellowship.
