It's a poignant reminder that defiance can be a stumbling block for many seeking recovery, and understanding this can be a crucial step in overcoming addiction.
Kate shares insights from various AA resources, including the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, which highlight how surrendering is paradoxically a form of winning. The episode explores the idea that in order to achieve sobriety, one must first hit rock bottom and surrender to the process.
