Finding Purpose: Emotional Sobriety with Allen Berger & Thom Rutledge

The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The work of life is to develop it. The meaning of life is to give your gift
What does it mean to live a purposeful life, especially when you're on the journey of recovery? In this episode of 'Emotional Sobriety: The Next Step in Recovery', Allen Berger and Thom Rutledge dive into the twelfth step of Alcoholics Anonymous, shedding light on how it intertwines with discovering one's purpose and meaning. They discuss the importance of honing personal observation skills, sharing learned wisdom, and nurturing your unique gifts.
The episode addresses the struggles many face in early adulthood when trying to find their path and the pitfalls of seeking significance solely for oneself. Isolation, they warn, can be a dangerous trap. Instead, they emphasize the power of connections and community. Wrapping up with a thought-provoking quote from Dr. David Viscott, “The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The work of life is to develop it.
The meaning of life is to give your gift away”, this episode offers deep insights into living a fulfilling and emotionally sober life. Perfect for anyone in recovery or those supporting loved ones on their journey.
