The All-In Approach to Recovery: Lessons from Hazelden Publishing

Half measures are not enough... You have got to give up everything. It's all or nothing like it or not? That's the way things work.
Ever wondered why recovery demands your full commitment? This episode of 'Recovery Road' hosted by William C. Moyers sheds light on why it's an all-or-nothing journey. Drawing from 'A Program for You: A Guide to the Big Book's Design for Living', Moyers explores the necessity of total dedication in overcoming addiction. He explains how alcohol or other substances once controlled every aspect of our lives, dictating our actions and goals. For true recovery, half-hearted efforts just won't cut it.
The episode emphasizes the importance of embracing a higher power and the limits of relying solely on self-will. Moyers shares insights from the Big Book, highlighting that real change happens when we surrender to something greater than ourselves. Whether your journey involves the Twelve Steps or another path, the core message remains: full commitment is essential. Tune in to discover why partial measures fall short and how giving everything over to a higher power can transform your life.
