Breaking Free from Self-Obsession: Insights from Heather and Donnie Mosher

Because if what we're talking about in working the steps is to remove this obsession of self so that I can change my obsession to others and helping people in order to get well, I think there'll be evidence in the fruit of the way you live your life.
Have you ever caught yourself thinking, 'Do they think about me as much as I do?' If so, you're not alone. In episode #85 of Relevant Recovery Radio, hosts Heather and Donnie Mosher tackle the topic of self-obsession and its impact on the recovery journey. They kick things off by sharing their recent experience in Las Vegas, a city known for its temptations, and how they managed to stay sober amidst it all.
This personal anecdote sets the stage for a deeper conversation about the spiritual side of recovery and the importance of the 12 steps. Heather and Donnie argue that self-obsession can be a significant barrier to recovery. They stress the need to shift focus from oneself to helping others, a principle rooted deeply in the 12-step program. The duo also highlights the dangers of narcissism, explaining how it can derail one's spiritual growth and overall recovery.
Throughout the episode, they share practical advice drawn from their own experiences with addiction, making their insights relatable and actionable. One memorable takeaway is their view of the 12 steps as a 'gift' that requires dedication and effort to fully assemble in one's life. This episode is not just about identifying problems but also about offering solutions and hope.
If you're looking for guidance on how to move beyond self-obsession and live a life of service, this episode is a must-listen.
