If somebody hadn't put themselves in my path when that window existed and hadn't just given me a really direct way to get connected to something more substantial than the giant looming spiritual relief of the next drink, I would have been gone.
Ever been told to take your time with something important, only to find out it was bad advice? Jane D. thinks that’s exactly the case when it comes to working the 12 Steps in Alcoholics Anonymous. In this episode of 'A Podcast Greater Than Yourself', Jane D. sits down with the hosts to challenge the idea that slow and steady wins the race in recovery.
She argues that dragging your feet can actually be a dangerous game, one that might lead you back to the bottle instead of towards lasting sobriety. Jane shares her personal experiences and underscores the importance of taking swift action. According to her, getting connected to something bigger than alcohol, and doing it quickly, can make all the difference. She emphasizes how crucial sponsorship and immediate engagement with the Steps are for anyone looking to avoid relapse.
The conversation also touches on the emotional and spiritual benefits of diving into the Steps headfirst. The hosts and Jane discuss how procrastination can lead to a relapse and why the Big Book remains a cornerstone in navigating these steps effectively. If you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a fresh perspective on why sometimes, fast-tracking your way through the 12 Steps might be the best approach.
So, grab your headphones and get ready for an eye-opening discussion that might just change how you view the journey to sobriety.
