Awakening is the goal of step recovery, not abstinence. Abstinence is a by-product of awakening spiritually.
Ever wondered what it truly means to awaken spiritually on your journey to sobriety? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald takes a deep dive into the essence of step recovery as outlined by the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous. Forget just quitting alcohol—this episode is about a profound transformation that goes beyond mere abstinence. Joe unpacks the idea that spiritual awakening, not just abstinence, is the ultimate goal of step recovery.
Abstinence, he argues, is simply a by-product of a deeper, spiritual awakening. Through personal anecdotes and insightful discussions, Joe explores how taking a personal inventory and rectifying mistakes can help you reclaim your identity and break free from the chains of fear and self-doubt. Whether you're just starting your journey or are well on your way, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on what it means to truly recover.
It's not just about avoiding alcohol; it's about finding a new way to live, grounded in spiritual growth and self-awareness.
