In today’s Daily Trudge, we’re shining a light on one of the sneakiest threats to long-term sobriety: Big Shotism — the idea that I’ve got this now, I’m different, or the rules don’t apply to me anymore.

The Big Book warns us that when ego takes over, sanity slips out the back door. Big Shotism isn’t loud — it’s subtle. It shows up as:
• Thinking you’re “too good” for the basics
• Giving advice instead of taking direction
• Forgetting where you came from
• Confusing spiritual progress with spiritual superiority

The antidote?
Humility. Service. God-dependence.

When we stay right-sized, teachable, and grounded, we stay safe. When we drift into Big Shot territory, we drift away from the very things that keep us sober.

Today, we break down what Big Shotism looks like, how quickly it can creep in, and how to stay connected to the principles that actually work.
