"So ego, in very simple terms, I mean it can be this is feeling better than you are, or worse than you are. So this is another characteristic of his majesty, and grandiosity is another characteristic."
How does ego influence the journey of recovery from alcoholism? In this episode of Sober Cast, Ron takes the stage at the 2012 Prime Time Men's Retreat in Joshua Tree, California, to tackle this complex question. Ron dives into the ways ego manifests in those struggling with alcohol addiction, often making them feel either superior or inferior to others.
This episode sheds light on how these distorted self-perceptions can hinder recovery and emphasizes the need for humility and surrender as essential tools in overcoming ego-driven behaviors. Ron also discusses the importance of a spiritual connection and how it helps to pierce through denial and subconscious barriers. Concepts like non-attachment and non-positionality are explored, offering listeners practical advice on shifting their mindset.
Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that aims to provide a deeper understanding of ego's role in alcoholism and the steps needed to manage it effectively.
