Finding Strength in Spirituality: Tackling Character Defects with Aron C.
The only way I really found any answers to problems in my life was relying on a spiritual power that's greater than myself: a god right, my own conception of god, but having a trust, faith and belief that there was a god that had my best interests at heart.
Ever wondered how to tackle those nagging character defects on your sobriety journey? In this episode of 'Keep it Simple - Daily Reading', Aron C. takes a deep dive into this very challenge. He starts with the AA preamble, setting the stage for a heartfelt discussion about staying sober and helping others achieve the same. Aron reads from the Beginner's Book published by the AA Grapevine, sharing insights on how the author embraced character assets while letting go of defects.
The conversation then moves to two crucial steps: becoming willing and ready for a spiritual solution, and actively seeking that solution. Aron underscores the importance of spirituality in overcoming personal flaws, drawing from his own experience of leaning on a higher power. He candidly talks about how progress, not perfection, is the real goal. Listeners are encouraged to keep attending meetings, find a sponsor, and approach life's hurdles with a fresh perspective.
Aron’s message is clear: while character defects may persist, a willingness to change and spiritual reliance can pave the way to overcoming them. Tune in for an episode filled with hope, practical advice, and a focus on continuous growth in your recovery journey.
