We are in inconvenient recovery when we no longer look for a way out, a way to declare the process complete. We understand that life will always require us to change, grow and learn.
Think the Twelve Steps are just a one-time fix? Think again. In this episode of 'Recovery Road', host William C Moyers dives into the ongoing journey of recovery, focusing on Step Ten. Drawing from Dr. Patrick Carnes' revised classic, *A Gentle Path through the Twelve Steps*, this episode highlights how the Steps aren't just tasks to check off, but daily practices that shape a life of sobriety and growth.
Step Ten is all about taking a personal inventory and promptly admitting when we're wrong. It’s a call to integrate honesty and spiritual exploration into our everyday lives. Dr. Carnes explains that by acknowledging our strengths and weaknesses, and focusing on daily self-reflection, we can build a foundation for active spirituality and continual growth. But let's be real: recovery isn’t a one-and-done deal. It’s an ongoing commitment that often feels inconvenient.
This episode sheds light on the concept of 'inconvenient recovery'—the idea that real recovery requires constant change, growth, and learning. Instead of seeking an easy way out, embracing this ongoing process can lead to genuine contentment, joy, and peace. If you’re looking to understand how to make these principles a part of your daily routine, or if you’re curious about how to balance acknowledging your limitations while striving for growth, this episode is for you.
Tune in to find out how integrating these practices can help you navigate the ups and downs of real recovery.
