Real power flows into you from this activity. The following account, as told by Sadhu Sundar Singh, is a very powerful witness of what happens when you accept or reject this basic truth.
What does love really mean in the context of addiction recovery? This episode of Father Bill W.'s podcast offers a deep dive into that very question. Joining him is Matt D., the Executive Director of All Addicts Anonymous (AAA), who brings a wealth of knowledge about the original AA pioneer program. Together, they explore the Four Absolutes: Honesty, Purity, Unselfishness, and Love, with a special focus on love, arguably the most challenging yet rewarding absolute.
Father Bill and Matt each choose poignant readings to illustrate how love can transform lives. From Sadhu Sundar Singh's reflections to Paul's words in First Corinthians, these readings offer powerful insights into the role of love in recovery. They also touch upon the often-overlooked 11th Step practice of Two Way Prayer and the importance of morning meditation in AA.
Throughout the episode, Father Bill and Matt share personal stories and practical advice, encouraging listeners to embrace love and spirituality on their journey to sobriety. Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable perspectives on how love can be a guiding force in overcoming addiction.
