Our spiritual progress is based in direct proportion to our dropping the rock.
How do you let go of what's holding you back? In this episode of 'Experience The Big Book', Dr. Mike tackles Steps 6 and 7, guiding listeners through the crucial process of identifying and removing character defects. These steps are not just a one-time effort but a continuous journey toward emotional sobriety. Dr. Mike begins with a heartfelt prayer, asking for the humility to set aside preconceived notions about recovery and embrace the wisdom of the Big Book.
He emphasizes that our emotional well-being is deeply tied to how diligently we apply these steps in our lives. A thorough self-inventory is key, revealing the resentment, fear, and harmful behaviors that block us from connecting with our higher power. Dr. Mike encourages listeners to face these uncomfortable truths head-on, understanding that spiritual progress, not perfection, is the goal.
The metaphor of 'dropping the rock' serves as a powerful reminder to let go of selfishness and other defects that hinder our growth. By continuously turning to a higher power for help and being willing to change, we can make meaningful strides in our recovery journey. This episode offers practical advice, spiritual insights, and a compassionate approach to overcoming the obstacles that keep us from living our best lives.
