As long as we think that the group's purpose is more important than our singular wants and needs, we can remain functional and united.
Ever wondered how unity plays a role in recovery? In this episode of 'Recovery (Sort Of)', hosts Billy and Jason dive into Tradition 1 of the 12-step program, which emphasizes that our common welfare should come first, with personal recovery depending on NA unity.
They tackle thought-provoking questions like, 'Does having a singular purpose ensure unity?' and 'Can you have unity without a common goal?'
Billy and Jason explore whether unity is a spiritual principle or the result of working through spiritual principles. They also reflect on how these ideas apply not just to recovery groups but to families and communities as well. Imagine never considering what unites your family or community.
The hosts suggest that perhaps this lack of a shared goal is why many family units struggle with unity. Throughout the episode, Billy and Jason share their insights on how focusing on the group's common purpose, rather than individual desires, can keep everyone aligned and functional. They discuss how differing opinions within a community can impact its welfare and whether acting for the common good always promotes unity.
This episode is perfect for anyone in recovery or supporting someone who is, as it sheds light on the importance of unity and shared goals. Tune in to hear how these principles can strengthen not only recovery groups but also families and communities.
