Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon A.A. unity
In this engaging episode of Studio RC, Pastor Max Ingram dives into the first of the 12 Traditions of A.A., focusing on the importance of unity for personal recovery. The episode kicks off a new series where each week, Max will explore a different tradition and its relevance to both A.A. and Recovery Church.
With his signature blend of humour and wisdom, Max makes the often-overlooked traditions come alive, showing how they serve as guiding principles for both group and individual recovery. Tradition #1 states, 'Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon A.A. unity.' Max breaks down what this means in practical terms, emphasising that individual sobriety hinges on the health and unity of the group.
He highlights the importance of putting the group's welfare above personal ambitions to create a supportive environment where everyone can thrive. Max shares anecdotes about how Recovery Church implements these principles, from handling disruptive attendees to ensuring that everyone feels welcomed and supported. He also addresses common misconceptions, such as the idea that prioritising recovery is selfish. Instead, he argues that true recovery involves service to others and a commitment to the group's well-being.
Listeners will find Max's reflections both thought-provoking and relatable, especially when he discusses the balance between individual needs and collective goals. He underscores that while the group must come first, this doesn't mean individuals are neglected. In fact, the group's unity allows for more focused care and support for each member.
Max wraps up by encouraging listeners to see themselves as part of a larger whole, whether they're in a small local group or part of the broader Recovery Church network. By prioritising unity, everyone benefits, creating a stronger foundation for recovery. Tune in to gain valuable insights and practical advice on how to live out these principles in your own recovery journey.
