If I'm only looking at the behaviors and I'm not looking at the root, then I'm going to be missing the mark as I try to achieve long-term sobriety.
Have you ever felt that the real struggle isn’t with the world around you, but within yourself? Bill Ward, a seasoned Recovery Activist and Mentor, takes you on a journey into the heart of addiction in this episode of THEUDRCAST. Titled 'The Fight is Never with Others, It's Always Within... It Just Takes Time to See It', this episode dives deep into the concept of spiritual malady – the inner turmoil that often drives self-destructive behaviors like addiction.
Bill emphasizes the importance of self-inventory and introspection in the recovery process. He explains how steps six and seven of the 12-Step Program can be transformative, helping individuals confront and release their deepest fears and resentments. Forgiveness, both of oneself and others, emerges as a crucial theme in this conversation. Bill shares his personal experiences and reflections on the significance of step three, which involves turning one's will over to a higher power, as a cornerstone for achieving lasting sobriety.
The episode also highlights the value of community and working with others on the path to recovery. Through years of grieving and self-examination, Bill believes that one can uncover the true roots of addiction and move towards a life filled with genuine happiness and satisfaction. Tune in to hear Bill’s heartfelt insights and practical advice on conquering addiction from within.
