But the truth is- and this is again underscored in the big book of aa- it is a lifetime process. We couldn't control our emotional natures. But these words remind us that we have problems that are more than simply drugs or alcohol, that drugs and alcohol are only a symptom of something that is a much more pervasive nature that's going on inside of us, that is dealt with in the steps.
Relationships can take a heavy hit when addiction enters the picture. Pastor Max Ingram dives into this tough topic in this episode of Studio RC, shedding light on how the 12 steps can help mend those broken bonds. Max doesn't sugarcoat the damage caused by addiction and alcoholism, but he offers a hopeful path to restoration. He talks about how sobriety alone isn't enough; true healing requires addressing deeper issues and emotional wounds.
Max shares his thoughts on the defensive emotions that often come up when facing fractured relationships. He encourages listeners to step away from living defensively and instead embrace humility and the willingness to make amends. Financial restitution, emotional security, and active love are key themes he discusses, stressing that these elements are crucial for genuine relationship repair. Max's approach is both practical and heartfelt.
He speaks about the importance of valuing others above oneself and the power of giving others the chance to forgive. It's not just about stopping drinking; it's about transforming your life and the lives of those around you through sincere efforts and love. Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable advice. Max's words are a beacon of hope for anyone looking to rebuild trust and restore harmony in their relationships.
Tune in to hear more about how the 12 steps can guide you on this journey of healing and renewal.
