I was taught and I remember that I'm the problem. And so for me to be able to continue to grow and change in this program, I have to be very, very cautious about like puffing myself up.
Imagine always striving for more—more security, more recognition, more love—only to find yourself lost in the pursuit. Keith G. from New York, NY, knows this struggle well. In this episode of the Daily Reflection Podcast, Keith shares his insights on the July 14th reflection titled 'Pride'. He opens up about his battle with pride and how it often led him to drink, either to celebrate his successes or to escape his frustrations.
Keith's journey is a testament to the transformative power of humility in recovery. Keith candidly discusses the many times he approached the Seventh Step, only to stumble because he overlooked one crucial word: 'humbly'. This realization became a cornerstone in his recovery, helping him see that true growth comes from character-building and spiritual values, not material gains.
He shares how his sponsor and men's group played pivotal roles in this awakening, guiding him to balance pride in his achievements with an honest acknowledgment of his flaws. Through Keith's story, you'll get a glimpse into the emotional rollercoaster of sobriety—the highs of personal victories and the lows of confronting deep-seated character defects. He emphasizes the importance of communication and support within the recovery community, illustrating how these elements help him stay both sober and emotionally balanced.
If you're curious about how humility can reshape your recovery journey or if you're looking for inspiration to overcome your own struggles with pride, this episode offers valuable lessons and heartfelt reflections.
