Bart S. on Embracing Humility for a Fulfilling Recovery
The essence of Step Seven is humility, and what better way to seek humility than by giving all of myself—good and bad—to God
Imagine finding strength in both your flaws and virtues. Bart S. from Ashburn, VA, takes us through this transformative idea in his appearance on the Daily Reflection Podcast. He dives into the concept of humility, reading from the Daily Reflection book and sharing how surrendering both the good and bad parts of himself to a higher power has reshaped his journey in recovery.
Bart talks about how this act of giving has freed him from his shortcomings, allowing him to be of greater service to others and to grow in humility. He emphasizes that while the podcast references God, it's not about religion but about sharing recovery experiences that resonate with many. For Bart, the essence of Step Seven is about letting go and letting a higher power remove the negative while returning the positive.
He also highlights the importance of community support, explaining how Alcoholics Anonymous has provided a network of people who loved him until he could love himself.
