When these crop up, we ask god at once to remove them.
What if the key to overcoming addiction lies in letting go? In this episode of 'Position of Neutrality', host Joe McDonald explores the profound message behind the statement 'We Ask God to Remove Them'. It's not just about words; it's a call to action for those in recovery to seek divine help in overcoming four critical negative emotions: selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear.
These emotions can sneak up on anyone and derail the recovery journey, but the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous believed that turning to a higher power could offer a way out. Joe breaks down how recognizing these emotions and asking for help isn't a passive act. It requires a conscious effort and humility, acknowledging one's own limitations and the need for divine intervention. The episode emphasizes that this isn't about judging others but focusing on personal growth and self-improvement.
By addressing our own flaws, we become better equipped to support others in their recovery. Joe's insights provide a valuable perspective on the transformative power of surrendering to a higher power. This episode is a must-listen for anyone on the path to sobriety, offering hope and practical advice for dealing with the emotional hurdles that come with recovery.
