Matt D. on Purity: A Deeper Dive into AA's Four Absolutes

The purity of body is a relationship to this thing, that is, the human body and what it is that it takes in. And he's saying: then there is, you know, adrenaline is produced and, just like you know, that tenses up muscles in different parts of the body. He was saying that it's very hard for nutrition to make its way to different parts of the body when you're in such a state.
Have you ever wondered why 'Purity' is one of the Four Absolutes in Alcoholics Anonymous' pioneer program? In this episode, Father Bill W. sits down with Matt D., the Executive Director of All Addicts Anonymous (AAA), to unpack this often misunderstood concept. They delve into why Purity, among the Four Absolutes—Honesty, Purity, Unselfishness, and Love—is the least understood and most feared.
It's a candid discussion that doesn't shy away from tough questions about morality, honesty, and the dangers of taking 'half-measures' in recovery. The conversation also touches on historical figures like Frank Buchman and explores articles from the AAA archives. If you're curious about how these timeless principles can guide your recovery journey, this episode offers a fresh perspective on spiritual practices and self-awareness.
