Episode Overview
- Exploring the powerlessness of alcoholism and drug addiction
- Discussing the spiritual malady driving addictive behaviours
- Delving into the doctor's theory of alcohol allergy
- Highlighting the importance of spiritual growth and altruism in recovery
- Emphasizing the practical application of steps and micro decisions in the recovery journey
The doctor's theory that we have an allergy to alcohol interests us. Though we work out our solution on a spiritual as well as an altruistic plane, we favor hospitalization for the alcoholic who is very jittery or be fogged.
Ever wondered why some people can't just 'say no' to that first drink or drug? In this episode of THEUDRCAST, Bill Ward and Janine H take a deep dive into the baffling world of addiction and recovery. They kick things off with a look at the 'Doctor's Opinion' from the Big Book, which explains how an allergy to alcohol can set off a cascade of self-destructive behaviors. But it doesn't stop there.
The hosts also explore the concept of 'spiritual malady', a term used to describe the inner dis-ease that drives people to seek solace in substances, even when they know the consequences. Through heartfelt discussions and personal anecdotes, Bill and Janine unpack why it's so hard for some to resist picking up that first drink or drug, even when sober. They also shed light on the transformative power of spiritual growth and altruism in the recovery journey.
This episode isn't just for those battling addiction; it's for anyone seeking to understand the deeper forces at play. Tune in to gain a new perspective on addiction and discover how spiritual healing can pave the way to recovery.
