Inventory this way becomes a spiritual exercise to face and be rid of the things that block you from god, which you've admitted you need some power from, and other people and yourself.
What happens when you confront the things that block you from a deeper connection with your spirituality? In this episode, Joe Hawk takes us back to his ninth week at the Salvation Army in Santa Monica, 1987. Here, Joe dives into the nitty-gritty of taking inventory as a spiritual exercise. He emphasizes how this process can help you face and remove the obstacles that stand between you and a higher power.
Joe breaks down the importance of the second and third steps in Alcoholics Anonymous, focusing on the crucial decision-making process involved. He also sheds light on the fifth step, which plays a pivotal role in the inventory process, and discusses the value of faith in recovery. One of Joe's key points is the significance of working with another person during the eighth step and why it's vital not to judge others' recovery journeys.
He uses vivid metaphors to describe the cornerstone of building a solid foundation and helps listeners differentiate between assets and liabilities in their recovery journey. Joe's story is raw, engaging, and filled with practical advice for anyone on the path to sobriety. Tune in to hear how inventory can lead to transformative change and a stronger spiritual connection.
