For me, the most important steps are Six And Seven. That was a just a wonderful simplifying piece to the six and seven for me.
Ever felt overwhelmed by fear or self-loathing on your recovery journey? In this episode, Father Bill W. teams up with author Paul S. to tackle these heavy emotions through the lens of Steps 6 and 7. Drawing inspiration from William James' classic, 'Varieties of Religious Experience', they dive deep into the struggles faced by what James calls the 'sick soul'.
These steps are often described as the ones that 'separate the men from the boys' (and the women from the girls), and for good reason—they address some of the most stubborn issues in addiction recovery. Father Bill W., with his extensive background in addiction treatment, and Paul S., an expert on William James, discuss how these steps can help remove fear, self-loathing, and chaotic impulses.
They emphasize that while sudden conversions can happen, lasting change usually requires ongoing faith and trust in the process. The conversation also highlights the role of family therapy in cutting through the ego and aiding recovery. This episode isn't just a discussion; it's a practical guide to understanding and applying Steps 6 and 7 in your own life. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, you'll find valuable insights here.
Tune in to learn how spiritual practice can transform your recovery journey, helping you aim for perfection but settle for progress.
