We use the fact of fatal illness to clamp the heaviest kind of moral obligation onto the sufferer: the obligation to use aa's steps to get well.
Ever wondered if alcoholism is a moral failing or an illness? Scott B. from Detroit, Michigan, takes you on a thought-provoking journey through this question in this episode of the 'Transitions Daily Alcoholics Anonymous Recovery Readings Podcast'. He reads daily quotes from trusted AA resources like 'Twenty-Four Hours A Day' and 'Daily Reflections', exploring the complex nature of alcoholism and addiction. Some folks argue that labeling alcoholism as an illness removes personal responsibility.
However, AA members see it differently, using the concept of sickness to reinforce the moral duty to pursue recovery through AA's 12 steps. Scott dives into the importance of accepting responsibility, embracing humility, and steering clear of pride. He also highlights how the AA program fosters a sense of community and kinship among its members. If you're navigating the challenges of sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement.
