And for me now, you know, I sometimes have to giggle myself when I watching myself making this kind of plans, and then it doesn't work out.
Ever wondered how a group can function smoothly without strict organization? In this episode of 'The Recovery Show', Spencer and Ruth tackle the fascinating concept of Tradition 9 in Al-Anon. They explore how the principle of minimal organization helps foster trust, self-reliance, and a sense of community among members. Tradition 9 states, 'Our groups, as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve'.
Spencer and Ruth unpack what this means in practical terms, sharing real-life examples and personal stories. You'll hear about the importance of trusting a higher power and the collective wisdom of the group, rather than relying on rigid structures. They also delve into the role of service in Al-Anon, showing how creating service boards and committees can provide support while maintaining the group's flexible nature.
This episode offers a fresh perspective on finding serenity through Al-Anon's unique approach to organization, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the balance between structure and freedom in recovery.
