If the only requirement for membership in Alcoholics Anonymous is the desire to quit drinking can we continue to get stoned? The controversy continues as we discuss this topic.
Can you still be part of a Twelve Step fellowship if you're getting high, as long as you want to quit drinking? That's the big question tackled in this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio'. Host Monty Dale Meyer, known as the Monty'man, dives into this hot-button issue with his guests. They explore whether the only requirement for membership in Alcoholics Anonymous— the desire to stop drinking—means that drug use is acceptable.
This debate touches on whether the standards of these fellowships are being compromised or if personal choice and responsibility should take precedence. They also look at how decriminalization affects addiction rates and the role of spiritual principles in recovery. The conversation doesn't shy away from tough questions about enabling behaviors and the importance of working the Twelve Steps. The episode wraps up with a powerful call to repentance and a reflection on the relevance of scripture in overcoming addiction.
It's a must-listen for anyone navigating the complexities of recovery.
