I don't think there's anything in sobriety that can help us more than learning humility, and all steps have a degree of humility to them.
Ever felt like you’re at the starting line of a marathon with no idea where to begin? Justin Hammerback knows the feeling all too well. In this episode of the HammeredRecovery Podcast, he opens up about the crucial role humility plays in recovery, specifically focusing on Steps 5-7 of the Alcoholics Anonymous program. Justin doesn’t just talk the talk; he’s walked this path himself, making his insights both genuine and relatable.
He kicks things off by stressing the importance of attending meetings, finding a sponsor, and diving into the steps without delay. Procrastination, he warns, can be a trap. Step 5 is all about admitting the exact nature of your wrongs to God, yourself, and another person. It’s a daunting task, but Justin’s candid discussion makes it clear that this step is a cornerstone for anyone serious about recovery.
The courage it takes to be this honest is immense, but it’s also incredibly liberating. Moving on to Step 6, Justin explains that being ready to let go of your defects of character is another pivotal moment. It’s not just about acknowledging your flaws but being genuinely prepared to change. And then there’s Step 7, where you humbly ask for those shortcomings to be removed.
Humility isn’t just a buzzword here; it’s a way of life that Justin believes is essential for long-term sobriety. Throughout the episode, Justin’s advice is practical and heartfelt. He encourages listeners to get involved in meetings, find a sponsor quickly, and start working on the steps. His message is clear: don’t wait for the perfect moment because it may never come.
If you’re looking for straightforward guidance and a bit of moral support on your recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen.
