The self-centeredness comes from fear, because, you know, I want to say that for the most part we're not bad people, right, we're not bad people. But I just want to differentiate that, that when we say self-centeredness, it's not like oh, I'm the greatest thing, it's like no, I'm a piece of crap, and that's why I have to focus on myself constantly, so I can keep from screwing everything up, you know.
Ever feel like you're juggling too many balls at once, trying to take care of yourself while also being there for others? In this thoughtful episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas delve into the delicate art of balancing self-care with service to others. Inspired by the Fifth Tradition of AA, they explore how focusing on oneself is crucial for healing, yet being of service to others is equally essential for personal growth.
Drawing from their own journeys and experiences, the hosts share candid stories and practical advice on overcoming fears and finding that sweet spot between self-care and helping others. They highlight the importance of community support and seeking wise counsel, showing that you don't have to walk this path alone. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone on the 12-step recovery journey.
Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this path for a while, you'll find valuable insights on how to apply spiritual principles in everyday life. Rev. Dan and Rev. Michelle offer a compassionate and relatable discussion that will leave you feeling both understood and inspired. Tune in to learn how to discern, evaluate, and apply these principles to your own recovery journey.
