With the Big Book in hand, she dives into the nuances of our character defects, discussing how we often cling to them despite their negative impacts.
Alyssa challenges us to think about our pride, greed, anger, lust, gluttony, envy, and sloth - not just in their extreme forms but in the subtle ways they manifest in our daily lives. She brings to light the idea that while we may avoid the most destructive behaviours, we often still indulge in milder forms of these defects. Through her reflections, Alyssa emphasises the importance of striving for spiritual and moral perfection, even if it seems like an impossible goal.
She encourages us to make a beginning and keep trying, reminding us that progress is more important than perfection. This episode is a call to action to look within ourselves, recognise our flaws, and take steps towards becoming better versions of ourselves.
