Joe & John's "We Agnostics" Big Book workshop share centers on the life-or-death realization that lack of power—not morality, intelligence, or willpower—is the alcoholic’s true dilemma, as Joe and John recount how their alcoholism utterly defeated them until desperation forced an open mind toward a power greater than themselves, dismantling long-held prejudice about God and replacing it with lived evidence found in AA meetings, sponsorship, and action on the Twelve Steps; through surrender, disciplined application of the steps, and a willingness to “lay aside prejudice,” both men describe being restored to sanity, freed from obsession, and rocketed into lives marked by dignity, usefulness, emotional sobriety, and spiritual growth—personal accomplishments measured not in status or possessions, but in sustained sobriety, healed families, the ability to help others recover, and daily freedom from the drink that once ruled their lives, proving that belief follows action and that a new way of living is available even to the most hopeless alcoholic.
