I couldn't have done what I've done as far as being clean for Years without working the steps, couldn't have done it without meetings, without fellowship, without sponsorship, without literature and without god, without god, my higher power.
Have you ever wondered why meetings and steps are so crucial in recovery? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Be Good To You', host Paul Summers tackles the growing criticism of recovery programs head-on. With social media buzzing with naysayers, Paul delves into the heart of what makes these programs life-saving for many. He shares his personal journey, emphasizing that while recovery is unique to each individual, the pillars of unity, fellowship, sponsorship, literature, and a higher power are indispensable.
Paul doesn't shy away from addressing the controversies. He acknowledges that not every meeting is perfect and that there are challenges within the community. However, he passionately argues that dismissing these programs based on a few bad experiences can be dangerously misleading. He also confronts the claims that meetings and steps discriminate against people of color, asserting that the road to recovery should be inclusive and supportive for everyone.
This episode is more than just a defense of traditional recovery methods; it's a heartfelt plea for understanding and solidarity. Paul ends with a powerful call-to-action, urging listeners to focus on their recovery and recognize the countless lives saved through meetings and steps. Whether you're new to recovery or a seasoned veteran, this episode offers valuable insights and a reminder of the strength found in community.
