We didn't get here overnight, and we're not going to get well overnight.
Change is inevitable, but are you ready for it? In this episode of Blindsight, host Bill Lundgrin welcomes Jeff Schlund from the Betty Ford Center to discuss Step Six of the 12-Step Program. Jeff, who has been sober for over 22 years, shares his wisdom on what it means to be entirely ready to have a higher power remove defects of character.
They explore the idea that alcoholism is a disease, not a defect of character, and how defects of character are often behaviour patterns developed alongside addiction. Topics like perfectionism, shame, and self-doubt are discussed, revealing how these issues affect both those in recovery and those who aren't. Jeff emphasises the importance of recognising these defects and seeking help to address them, whether through a higher power, a therapist, or a support group.
The conversation is filled with practical advice and personal anecdotes that make the journey to sobriety relatable and less daunting. If you're looking for guidance on how to prepare yourself for change and take action towards a better life, this episode is a must-listen.
