The first requirement is that we be convinced that any life run on self-will can hardly be a success. So are we convinced?
What happens when you realize that self-will might be the biggest hurdle in your path to sobriety? In this episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald tackles the profound concept of conviction and its pivotal role in overcoming addiction. Joe makes a compelling case for why recognizing that God's will has no opposite is crucial to reducing personal suffering. He suggests that the first step towards recovery is acknowledging that a life driven by self-will is unlikely to succeed.
This episode isn't just about lofty ideals; it's about practical steps and real-life discipline. Joe emphasizes the importance of stopping the habit of comparing yourself to others and instead focusing on your own journey. He talks about the need for a new way of living, one that aligns with a higher power's guidance rather than personal desires. This discussion offers a blend of spiritual insights and actionable advice, making it a must-listen for anyone on the path to sobriety.
Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this journey for a while, Joe's reflections on conviction can provide valuable perspectives and motivation.
