I must make an effort to put into practice the principles of the aa program, which are founded on honesty, truth, and humility. While I was drinking, I was constantly trying to be in the limelight.
What happens when a desire for the spotlight clashes with the journey of recovery? Kevin Barhydt, an author and actor, takes us through this dilemma in a compelling episode of the Daily Reflection Podcast. Kevin's story is one of remarkable transformation: from abandonment and addiction to 33 years of sobriety and a master's degree in education. His memoir, 'Dear Stephen Michael's Mother', chronicles this journey, offering a raw and honest look at his life.
In this episode, Kevin dives into the hazards of seeking publicity while navigating recovery. He reflects on his own experiences of craving the limelight and how this can be particularly dangerous for those in recovery. The episode is based on the Daily Reflection titled 'The Hazards of Publicity', which warns that being in the public eye can be risky, especially for those trying to stay sober. Kevin emphasizes the importance of humility and service within the AA program.
He shares how breaking anonymity has allowed him to help others by sharing his story but also stresses the need to remain grounded and true to the principles of honesty and humility. Through his candid reflections, Kevin provides valuable insights into how to balance personal growth with public exposure. This episode is a must-listen for anyone in recovery who grapples with the desire for recognition and wants to learn how to stay humble while helping others.
