An alternative is not a choice. An alternative is: I can go to the bitter end, blotting out my consciousness the best I can, or I can grab onto something that takes me radically in the other direction.
Feeling stuck and unsure of what direction to take in your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald sheds light on the concept of alternatives versus choices. Drawing from the wisdom of the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous, Joe explores the two distinct paths we can take when life feels unbearable.
One path leads us to radical change and a new way of living, while the other risks blotting out our consciousness and falling back into old habits. Through personal anecdotes and expert insights, Joe emphasizes that while it might seem like we're out of options, there's always a way forward. This episode serves as a powerful reminder that even in the darkest moments, we have the power to choose a different direction.
Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this journey for years, Joe's reflections offer valuable perspectives to help you navigate life's challenges with hope and resilience.
