Perhaps the easiest approach to the second step is to go back, is to think back to our childhood. When we got into trouble, we ran to our mother or father, knowing there was complete safety in their arms.
Ever felt like willpower alone just isn't cutting it? Aron C. gets real about this in the 'Keep It Simple - Daily Reading' podcast, focusing on the second step of Alcoholics Anonymous. This episode dives into the idea of finding a power greater than ourselves to help us regain sanity and sobriety. Aron explains that while many have tried to muscle through addiction with sheer willpower, it's often not enough.
He likens it to trying to lift yourself by your bootstraps - an impossible task without outside help. But where do you turn when family, friends, and even doctors can't provide the solution? According to AA, the answer lies in a higher power. For some, the mention of God can be a deal-breaker, but Aron reassures listeners that AA's concept of a higher power is flexible and personal.
It's about finding a god of your own understanding, not adhering to a specific religious doctrine. Aron shares his own journey with skepticism and confusion around this idea, urging listeners to keep an open mind and have faith in the process. He emphasizes that the second step is about surrendering control and trusting in the program laid out by fellow AA members.
This episode is filled with personal reflections and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or curious about the AA approach. Tune in for a compassionate and hopeful take on recovery.
