So many places in this book it says: we beg of you to lay aside prejudice against organized religion. And so again, I don't think that the god thing should stop someone from moving forward.
Have you ever wondered how to truly help others in their recovery journey? In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, known as the Monty'man, teams up with Chris S. to continue their deep dive into the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. This is Part 24 of their ongoing series, focusing on Step 12 and the practicalities of working with others in recovery.
Chris S., a highly respected circuit speaker, shares his wisdom on why it's essential to approach sponsorship with a clear understanding of its demands. The duo highlights that while it's important to be helpful to non-alcoholics, the intensive work of guiding them through the steps may not always be effective. They emphasize that the first step is often misunderstood and clarify the distinction between treatment as a discovery process and the steps as a recovery journey.
The conversation also touches on the vital role of a spiritual program of action in recovery. Chris S. explains how a sponsor can profoundly impact a sponsee's life and stresses the importance of counting the cost before taking on this responsibility. They discuss how prejudices against organized religion can be a stumbling block and why asking questions is more crucial than having all the answers.
Listeners will find this episode particularly enlightening as it offers practical advice and deep reflections on what it means to work with others in recovery. Whether you're a seasoned sponsor or new to the Twelve Steps, there's something valuable to take away from this engaging discussion.
