Understanding the directions and not, like you know, fluffing this shit up. I think the no bullshit approach that I offer as a sponsor, with a lot of love and kindness, compassion, the no bullshit, is actually what's working for the people that I'm working with and as I go to meetings and I share the truth about the literature and my experience with the literature, I'm very consistent and I don't waver because I see what's working.
Ever wondered why just quitting a substance isn't enough to truly recover from addiction? In this episode of THEUDRCAST, Bill Ward and Tommy F take you on a deep dive into the spiritual aspects of recovery. They share their insights on why simply removing the substance doesn't address the root of the problem and how a spiritual approach can lead to lasting change.
The duo discusses their upcoming Big Book study on Zoom, highlighting what they believe is missing in many recovery programs today. They emphasize that faith alone isn't sufficient; it needs to be paired with self-sacrifice and constructive action to be effective. Their candid conversation covers the 'spiritual malady'—a term they use to describe the underlying issues that fuel self-destructive behaviors like alcoholism, drug addiction, and even relationship problems.
Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, Bill and Tommy explain how connecting with a higher power and honest sponsorship can illuminate the path out of darkness. They also explore the ripple effect of recovery, showing how it can positively impact not just the individual but their entire family. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of addiction and the holistic approaches that can foster true recovery.
