I have this personal relationship with him and he knows me and he knows what it takes. But nine times out ten they don't want to do their steps because they don't want to reflect on themselves.
Are you ever truly 'recovered' from addiction, or is it a lifelong journey of 'recovering'? This thought-provoking episode of Take 12 Recovery Radio tackles this age-old question head-on. Hosts Toni, Bruce, and the Monty'man are joined by special guests Walter and Harlen to discuss their personal experiences and insights on this controversial topic. They explore what the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous says about it and how different recovery fellowship members view the issue.
The conversation is rich with personal anecdotes and reflections, shedding light on the role of spirituality, self-examination, and community support in the recovery process. You'll hear about the impact of addiction on relationships and daily life, and why some people resist doing the necessary work for true recovery. As Walter candidly shares, many avoid the steps because they don't want to face themselves.
This episode is a compelling reminder that recovery is not just a destination but an ongoing journey of growth and self-discovery.
