The thing that makes us distinct from non,-alcoholics, as I like to call them, is that when I run into a wall where my insides are churned up with fear and anger and sadness and despair and envy and all those things I talked about, I drink.
Picture yourself in a room, back in February 2006, where Charlie C is speaking passionately about Steps 6 and 7 of Alcoholics Anonymous. In this episode of Sober Cast, Charlie dives into the heart of these steps, shedding light on the crucial differences between defects of character and shortcomings. With his unique blend of personal anecdotes and practical advice, Charlie provides a fresh perspective on how to tackle these challenges head-on.
He emphasizes that while everyone has instincts, alcoholics often turn to drinking as a way to cope with their defects. But there's a better way. Charlie encourages listeners to turn their lives over to a higher power and find strength in interconnectedness and sobriety. He also shares his own struggles with anger and frustration, offering a candid look at how he managed to overcome these feelings without resorting to alcohol.
This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone looking to understand the deeper aspects of recovery. Whether you're new to AA or a seasoned member, Charlie's insights are sure to resonate and inspire.
