So now a defect is your step six: the shit that you've struggled with to let go, that you still think might serve you. Now I fucking have a desire to do God's will, but I'm still human, with fucking faults, and I have shortcomings.
Bill Ward, a passionate Recovery Activist and Mentor, invites you to explore the profound journey of Step 7 in recovery on THEUDRCAST. This episode dives into the heart of the recovery process, focusing on the transformative power of surrendering to a higher power and letting go of our deepest flaws. Bill emphasizes that admitting our powerlessness over alcohol is just the beginning. The real challenge lies in relinquishing our defects to God to truly avoid relapse.
He uses a Big Book Study to unpack the significance of discussing these defects with others, highlighting that humility and peace come as gifts when we open up and share our struggles. Bill's candid discussion on the role of pain and suffering in character building is eye-opening. He acknowledges that while saints might embrace suffering for growth, most of us find it daunting.
Yet, he argues, the pain we endure buys us a life free from the tyranny of our defects. By living with God as our attitude and embracing love, we can achieve genuine peace and humility. One striking point Bill makes is about the stubbornness of defects. We often cling to them, believing they still serve us in some way. However, through surrender, many of these difficulties fade away.
He also distinguishes between shortcomings and defects, noting that true healing in our relationships requires connecting with others. This episode is a heartfelt guide to understanding Step 7's crucial role in recovery. It’s about surrendering to a higher power, letting go of what holds us back, and finding peace through humility. Join Bill as he offers hope and inspiration for anyone on their recovery journey.
