Commitments in Recovery: Insights from Dr. David Stoop

Episode Overview

  • Unveiling the enduring impact of the 12 steps in the recovery journey
  • Exploring the significance of the commitment to Jesus as the higher power
  • Understanding the ongoing need for reflection and humility in the recovery process
  • Embracing the transformative nature of continual self-exploration and growth
  • Discovering the profound rewards of an authentic and restored life
We continue to take an inventory. We don't do that just once. And the once is going to take time. In some of the recovery programs, they give a month to step four. They give a month to each of these. But it may take three months for me to really dig deep and to be honest with myself and to be fearless in looking at my shortcomings and my failures and what goes on.
What does it truly mean to commit to recovery? In this episode of 'Life Recovery Today', Stephen Arterburn and the late Dr. David Stoop break down the essence of the 12-step program, focusing on three pivotal commitments that shape the journey from steps 7 to 12. Dr. Stoop shares his wisdom on embracing Jesus as a higher power, delving into self-awareness, and the importance of making amends.
His insights offer a fresh perspective on the continuous path of growth, humility, and spiritual connection. Whether you're new to recovery or well on your way, this episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and spiritual nourishment.
