Bridging Two Worlds: The 12 Steps Meet the Three Principles

I hope I get to see The Day when a good portion of the population has this understanding and throughout human history, so many people recovered from addiction long before aa ever existed, that's right- and they found their way through life without psychotherapy too.
What happens when you blend the wisdom of the 12 Steps with the transformative power of the Three Principles? In this episode, addiction experts Harry Derbitsky and Greg Suchy sit down with social worker Barbara Smith to find out. They dive into a lively discussion that bridges these two approaches to addiction recovery, shedding light on their similarities and differences. Barbara brings her extensive experience to the table, offering a fresh perspective on how these methods can complement each other.
They explore the limitations of the 12 Steps, the transient nature of thought, and why reaching neutrality is crucial in recovery. The conversation also touches on the disease model of addiction, neuroscience, and the often overlooked role of ego in both addiction and recovery. Whether you're a seasoned veteran of the 12 Steps or new to the Three Principles, this episode offers valuable insights that could change the way you view addiction and recovery.
Tune in for an engaging and hopeful dialogue that encourages self-understanding and embracing new perspectives.
