Tradition 12: Anonymity and Service in Recovery Unpacked
In personal recovery we seek to replace self-will with the guidance of a higher power in our personal lives. So it's almost like people who don't really necessarily have a specific god are using the way the fellowship uses traditions and the spiritual principles to guide it in their own life as their higher power.
Ever wondered why anonymity is such a big deal in recovery circles? In this episode of 'Recovery (Sort Of) - The Podcast', hosts Billy and Jason break down the spiritual foundation of Tradition 12. They dive into what it means to place principles before personalities and how anonymity plays a crucial role in that. The conversation isn't just theoretical; it's packed with real-life applications and challenges that come with holding service positions in recovery communities.
Why should you rotate service roles? How does humility fit into all of this? These are just a few of the questions they tackle. One particularly thought-provoking moment is when they discuss how people who might not have a specific god can still use the fellowship's traditions and spiritual principles as their guiding force. This episode is perfect for anyone in recovery or those curious about the inner workings of 12-step programs.
With a mix of personal anecdotes and broader insights, Billy and Jason make these complex ideas accessible and relatable. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that highlights the importance of giving back through service and maintaining anonymity to foster a supportive community.
