Nothing so much ensures immunity from drinking as intensive work with other alcoholics. It works when other activities fail.
What happens when the tried-and-true methods of recovery seem to be losing their impact? In this episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald tackles this pressing question head-on. He kicks things off with a powerful quote from AA literature: 'Practical experience shows that nothing will so much ensure immunity from drinking as intensive work with other alcoholics. It works when other activities fail'.
Joe digs deep into the essence of this statement, sharing real-life stories and insights from those who have walked the path of recovery. He highlights the importance of engaging deeply with fellow alcoholics, not just as a support mechanism but as a cornerstone for lasting sobriety. Joe doesn't shy away from addressing the elephant in the room: the declining efficacy rates of traditional recovery programs.
He argues that these numbers might be misleading and emphasizes the need to listen to those who have successfully navigated their recovery journeys. Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, Joe encourages listeners to find strength and guidance in the shared experiences of others. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that while no program is perfect, the collective wisdom and support within recovery communities can be a beacon of hope for many.
Tune in for an engaging and thought-provoking discussion that underscores the transformative power of helping others in the fight against addiction.
