Because rarely have we seen a person fail who's thoroughly followed our path. So, if I can align my experience with theirs, this isn't the people in the fellowship, this is people that are all long dead, but they left us a book, a map to spiritual enlightenment, awakening that if we follow their direction and pay attention to the experience they describe, this isn't a knowledge-based thing.
Ever wondered if your natural skepticism could actually help you on your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald takes a fresh look at the role of doubt in the recovery process. Rather than seeing doubt as a hurdle, Joe explains how it can be a powerful tool for growth and self-discovery. He delves into the importance of taking action and how faith intertwines with our everyday efforts to stay sober.
Through heartfelt anecdotes and practical advice, Joe sheds light on how experiential learning and making amends can be transformative steps in recovery. One of the standout points is Joe's emphasis on following the guidance of AA's founders, not just as a set of rules, but as a path to spiritual awakening. He shares, 'if we follow their direction and pay attention to the experience they describe, this isn't a knowledge-based thing.
This is an experiential thing and then, as you have the experience of the power greater than you operating through you, the knowledge will come'. This episode is packed with insights for anyone grappling with doubt or uncertainty in their sobriety journey. Tune in to see how your natural inclination to question can become one of your greatest assets.
