Anthony E's journey through sobriety is both a testament to personal growth and a reflection on the power of helping others. In this episode of SoberQ, Anthony shares his experiences with the tenth step of recovery, which involves taking a personal inventory and admitting when wrong. This step, often regarded as a 'maintenance step', is crucial in keeping oneself grounded and humble. Anthony candidly discusses how his ego sometimes gets the better of him, leading to entitlement and resentment.
However, he uses these moments as opportunities to reflect and improve his conduct. Anthony's home group, Steps in Rosanna, plays a significant role in his recovery journey. He emphasises the importance of service positions within the group, which keep him engaged and accountable. Even on days when motivation wanes, these roles ensure he remains connected to the programme. His approach to recovery isn't just about attending meetings; it's about actively participating and reaching out to others.
Anthony has built a network of contacts over his three years of sobriety, using these connections to check in with fellow members and offer support to newcomers. His story underscores the importance of self-reflection in recovery. By evaluating his daily conduct, Anthony identifies areas for improvement and seeks ways to assist others in their journey. His willingness to share phone numbers and follow up with newcomers highlights his commitment to being of service.
This episode offers valuable insights into how turning thoughts towards helping others can be an integral part of personal recovery. So, if you're curious about how service can play a pivotal role in sobriety, Anthony's experiences might just inspire you to take action.
