This step zero thing is really in some ways an awareness exercise, or perhaps willingness, if you like, willingness to engage the challenge, because we're finally seeing clearly some of us will have to be crushed in all kinds of ways because that's what it's going to take.
Imagine hitting rock bottom and finally realizing, 'This shit has to stop'. That's where Ron Chapman starts in this eye-opening episode of Progressive Recovery. Ron dives deep into what he calls 'Step Zero' – the crucial moment when you acknowledge there's a problem and decide to draw a line in the sand. This isn't just about admitting you have an issue; it's about overcoming the ego that fights against this acceptance.
Ron shares his own journey, revealing how long it took him to truly understand the nature of his addiction. He opens up about the invaluable role of spiritual advisors, therapists, and counselors in navigating this challenging first step. Throughout the episode, Ron stresses the importance of willingness – the readiness to face the challenge head-on. He describes 'Step Zero' as an awareness exercise, urging listeners to choose recovery and grasp the power of choice.
By the end, Ron leaves us with a powerful reminder: recovery is a miracle, and with the right mindset and willingness to change, anyone can achieve it. Tune in to this compelling episode for a heartfelt guide to taking that first, pivotal step towards a new life.
