Aa promises me that if I take suggests, work the steps, read the literature and implement the principles of the program in my life, then I will know a new freedom and a new happiness.
Have you ever wondered what separates psychotic behavior from neurotic tendencies, especially in the context of addiction recovery? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Promise of Recovery', host Lauren Lansrud breaks down these two types of behaviors and their significance in overcoming addiction. Lauren shares her personal experiences before joining Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), where she was entangled in neurotic thoughts and misconceptions about her drinking habits.
She believed sheer willpower could control her alcohol consumption or that changing her drinking patterns would solve the problem. However, the journey through AA's Twelve-Step Program and its literature revealed a different truth. Lauren discovered that willpower alone was ineffective in managing her drinking. She realized she was powerless over alcohol, and her drinking was causing significant harm to herself and those around her.
By embracing the principles of the Twelve-Step Program, she found a new sense of freedom and happiness. This episode is a compelling listen for anyone navigating addiction recovery or seeking to understand the nuances between psychotic and neurotic behaviors. Tune in to 'Promise of Recovery' and explore how these insights can pave the way to a healthier, sober life.
