Remember, it was a fearless and searching moral inventory, not an immoral. If all you got out of there was garbage, you didn't dig far enough, because I was looking for the great reality.
Ever wondered how deeply knowing yourself can aid in your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald shares a powerful moment from the book 'Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How Many Thousands of Men and Women Have Recovered From Alcoholism'. He highlights the critical importance of discovering who you truly are and whose you are to overcome addiction. Joe emphasizes that a fearless and thorough moral inventory is essential.
If all you find is 'garbage', you haven't dug deep enough. The goal is to uncover the 'great reality' within yourself. Willingness is another key theme Joe touches on. If you're holding onto something you can't let go of, he suggests asking for divine help to be willing. Acting your way into better thinking and working with others are crucial steps in this process.
Joe also underscores the power of prayer, sharing the third step prayer which seeks the removal of every defect that stands in the way of being useful to God and others. He encourages using your own language when talking to God, making the prayer personal and meaningful. This episode sheds light on the importance of a moral inventory, willingness, action, and prayer in overcoming addiction. It’s about discovering your true self and finding the courage to change.
