"The beast uses Fear (future) and Resentment (the past) to control me and keep me out of the present."
How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? Roger B., with over 43 years of recovery experience, dives into the internal battle against fear and resentment in his latest podcast episode. Roger shares his personal journey, highlighting the 'Beast' within—an inner critic that once masqueraded as a friend, promising safety but delivering despair.
You'll hear Roger's candid reflections on how this voice led him down a path of self-reliance and isolation, ultimately pushing him towards alcohol as a misguided solution. The episode unpacks the struggle of recognising and confronting this inner Beast, which thrives on past resentments and future fears to keep us from living in the present moment. Roger discusses how recovery offers an alternative platform for decision-making, grounded in spiritual principles and the 12-step programme.
He emphasises the importance of admitting powerlessness and embracing a higher power to dismantle the Beast's grip. Through prayer, meditation, and inventory, listeners are encouraged to shift focus from fear-based actions to compassionate and empathetic behaviours. Roger's story serves as a reminder that the battle against addiction is ongoing, but growth is possible when we confront our fears and make conscious choices.
The episode is a heartfelt exploration of how recovery can transform one's life, offering hope and tools to face the challenges head-on. Are you ready to face your own Beast and find peace in the present?
