The Balance of Power in 12-Step Groups: Insights from Take 12 Recovery Radio

In 12-Step groups, there is no such thing as individual authority. No one member “directs” or “controls” the actions of the other members of the group.
Ever wondered how 12-Step groups maintain harmony without a single person calling the shots? In this engaging episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', hosts Margie, Marv, and the Monty'man dive into the Second Tradition of 12-Step programs. They explore what happens when trusted servants overstep their roles and turn into overbearing leaders, disrupting the group's balance. The trio discusses the essence of group conscience and the importance of equality among members to foster a healthy recovery environment.
They also touch on the pitfalls of depending too much on human authority and the need for occasional 'resets' to keep the fellowship thriving. Whether you're new to 12-Step groups or a seasoned member, this episode offers valuable insights into maintaining a supportive and balanced recovery community.
