The nature of delusion is that you don't know. You have it. So it's virtually impossible for you to smash your own delusion. That's why we help one another, because we can smash theirs or not us, but the power in us.
Ever wondered how to tackle the stubborn delusions that keep you stuck in addiction? In this eye-opening episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald dives deep into the tricky nature of these delusions and the crucial first step in recovery. Drawing from the foundational text of Alcoholics Anonymous, Joe emphasizes the importance of smashing the illusion that we can drink like others. But here's the kicker: it's nearly impossible to do it alone.
Joe argues that we need each other to break through these false beliefs. By sharing experiences and offering support, we can help each other see the truth about our condition. He makes a poignant distinction between losing control over drinking and simply misplacing it, highlighting the gravity of alcoholism. Joe’s been around many alcoholics, and he insists that no true alcoholic ever regains control. It's a tough pill to swallow, but accepting this reality is key to genuine recovery.
Throughout the episode, Joe urges listeners to honestly assess their relationship with alcohol and seek the help they need. His message is clear: while the journey is challenging, it's filled with hope and community support. Tune in for a candid discussion that might just change your perspective on recovery.
