Finding Peace: Why Neutrality Matters in Sobriety

So the list holds the key to the future. And what's in the list? The truth, the truth about me, not your truth, not my truth, but the truth.
Ever wonder why staying calm is so crucial in sobriety? In this episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald breaks it down for us. He dives into the significance of avoiding anger, resentment, and rage, and how these emotions can derail your journey to recovery. Joe explains that returning to alcohol is a form of insanity that leads to spiritual death. He emphasizes the importance of discipline and self-awareness in maintaining sobriety.
Joe also touches on how grouchiness and overthinking can lead to resentment and sudden fits of rage. Instead, he encourages us to turn to the objective truth about ourselves, as revealed by our personal inventory. This isn't about our own perception or others' opinions, but the real, unvarnished truth. By embracing this, we can avoid the traps of addiction and lead a resilient, sober life.
Tune in to learn how maintaining a position of neutrality can be your key to a peaceful and sober future.
