You can get lost in the dogma- and believe me, I had my period and probably still do- of being a little dogmatic, sometimes a little intellectual, but it's really about the spirit of these steps, it's really about what happens inside when you do this work.
Ever wondered how the Twelve Steps can be more than just a set of rules? Joe Hawk takes you through his final week at the Salvation Army in Santa Monica, 1987, shedding light on the real essence of these steps. In this episode of 'Mad Dog Recovery AA Speakers', Joe shares his journey to sobriety, focusing on the practical application of the Twelve Steps and the pitfalls of sticking strictly to dogma and intellectualism.
He emphasizes that true recovery is about personal transformation and service to others. Joe dives into his experiences at the Big Book Workshop by the Sea, highlighting how group conscience and support played a crucial role in his journey. He reminds us that the Twelve Steps are about inner freedom and not just following rules. This episode is packed with insights and practical advice for anyone on their path to sobriety.
Whether you're new to AA or a seasoned member, Joe's story offers a fresh perspective on finding true freedom through the Twelve Steps.
