The Glue of Recovery: Embracing Traditions with Robert Pardon

Twelve-step recovery is second to none when it comes to establishing traditions that remain intact and unchanged. Both of these things are important for without them being intact we would have no foundational direction and if they would change from time to time, they would be more subject to people’s feelings than they would their thinking.
Think traditions are just old-fashioned habits? Think again. In this episode of The Recovery Guy Podcast, Robert Pardon takes us on a journey through the vital role traditions play in twelve-step recovery. With over three decades of experience in the recovery community, Robert knows firsthand how these time-honored practices provide structure and stability for those battling addiction. Robert breaks down how the traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous, established from its earliest days, have contributed to its enduring strength.
He delves into how these traditions help maintain direction and cohesion, offering a sense of continuity and belonging to those in recovery. But it's not just about following rules; it's about embracing a way of life that fosters happiness, joy, and freedom. One of the key points Robert emphasizes is the role of a higher power in recovery. He shares how this spiritual connection can lift the burden of self and addiction, paving the way for a fulfilling life.
Robert also highlights the power of attraction over promotion in welcoming newcomers to the recovery community, suggesting that living by example can be more impactful than any advertisement. Throughout the episode, Robert's message is clear: recovery is not only possible but achievable for anyone willing to embrace these traditions. Whether you're new to the twelve-step program or a seasoned member, this episode offers valuable insights into the foundational elements that make recovery sustainable.
