Episode Overview
- Emotional sobriety involves more than just physical abstinence; it requires internal healing.

- Recognising personal motives helps in understanding actions and decisions.
- Celebrating small strengths is crucial in the recovery journey.
- Recovery is a continuous process that requires ongoing growth and learning.
Unless we keep growing, we fall back
In this episode of Recovery At Cokesbury, Mark Beebe dives deep into the concept of emotional sobriety, drawing insights from the book 'Emotional Sobriety 2'. The conversation kicks off with a humorous yet poignant story about a sponsor urging someone to see a doctor, which cleverly parallels the idea of seeking both physical and emotional healing.
The episode underscores the difference between taking a moral inventory and a personal inventory, highlighting how the latter is more expansive and challenging but ultimately more rewarding. Mark explores the 10th step of the 12-step program, which focuses on continuing personal inventory and promptly admitting wrongs. He emphasises the importance of recognising personal motives and agendas, questioning whether they are driven by pride, revenge, or genuine love.
The episode is peppered with light-hearted moments, such as Mark's anecdote about questioning God's understanding of his plans, which adds a relatable touch to the serious subject matter. By the end of the discussion, you'll be encouraged to celebrate your strengths, no matter how small, and to see them as part of your ongoing recovery journey. The episode concludes with a powerful reminder that recovery is a continuous process of growth and learning, deeply intertwined with faith and community support.
So, if you're looking for a heartfelt and honest discussion on emotional sobriety, this episode is a must-listen.
