Bill called emotional sobriety, the next frontier...
How do you find emotional balance in recovery? This episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio' dives deep into this question with host Monty Dale Meyer, known as the Monty'man, and Dr. Allen Berger, the author of 'Twelve Stupid Things That Mess Up Recovery'. Together, they continue their exploration of a letter from Bill Wilson, the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, who famously described emotional sobriety as the 'next frontier'.
This conversation couldn't be more timely, as many of us grapple with emotional dependence on external circumstances rather than cultivating inner peace. Monty and Dr. Berger discuss key concepts like identifying unenforceable rules and our addiction to acceptance. They also shed light on the flawed formulas that often lead to emotional dependency and how a relationship with a higher power can play a pivotal role in achieving emotional sobriety.
This episode isn't just about theory; it's packed with practical advice and relatable anecdotes that make these complex ideas accessible and actionable. Listeners will find themselves reflecting on their own emotional triggers and the ways they seek validation from others. The episode also touches on broader themes like the potential threats to recovery organizations and even brings in a unique story about a Bible found in an unexpected place.
Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this journey for years, this episode offers valuable insights into achieving emotional stability and living a balanced life. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of emotional sobriety and take the next step in your recovery journey.
