Acceptance is not the answer. Fearlessly and thoroughly going through all steps with a sponsor to uncover, discover and discard all the wreckage from our past, followed by consistent meetings, prayer, meditation, self-examination and service, is the answer.
Imagine being told that simply accepting your circumstances is the key to overcoming addiction. Sounds too easy, right? In this episode of 'Sobriety Rocks', host Kirk Waterman challenges the idea that acceptance alone can solve all problems related to addiction recovery. Drawing from personal experience and wisdom from the A.A. community, Kirk argues that while acceptance is important, it’s just the beginning of a much deeper journey.
He highlights how essential it is to actively work through the 12 steps with a sponsor, engage in regular meetings, prayer, meditation, and self-examination to truly heal and grow. This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt encouragement for anyone on the path to sobriety. Kirk emphasizes that real change comes from action and commitment, not just passive acceptance.
By treating oneself and others with respect and taking proactive steps, listeners can find hope, faith, courage, honesty, humility, and ultimately, freedom and happiness. Tune in to 'Sobriety Rocks' for an inspiring discussion that goes beyond the surface, offering real tools and insights for a fulfilling recovery journey.
