From the significance of the 12 steps to the importance of kindness and justice in our daily interactions, this episode is packed with wisdom and practical advice for anyone on the path to recovery.
Cindy reads from classic texts like 'Twenty-Four Hours a Day', 'A.A. Thought for the Day', and 'As Bill Sees It', offering a comforting blend of spiritual guidance and real-life applications. The episode dives into the essence of Step Ten - taking personal inventory and promptly admitting when we're wrong. Cindy emphasises the power of showing kindness and justice to those around us, even those we might dislike.
She shares how practising these virtues can bring harmony into our lives and relationships. There's also a poignant reminder to pause and reflect on whether we're treating others as we would like to be treated. Another highlight is the discussion on spirituality versus materialism.
