"My ego didn't go away when I put the bottle down; it just changed costumes."
Ever wondered what it takes to avoid the sneaky trap of Big Shotism in recovery? This episode of the RAW Recovery Podcast tackles this elusive threat to sobriety with a mix of humour and heartfelt insights. Big Shotism, the idea that 'I've got this now' or 'the rules don't apply to me anymore,' can quietly undermine your progress. The hosts discuss how this ego-driven mindset can lead to spiritual superiority, forgetting your roots, and giving advice instead of taking direction.
The antidote? Humility, service, and dependence on a higher power. Through lively conversation, the podcast explores how maintaining humility and being teachable can keep you grounded and right-sized in your recovery journey. You'll hear about personal experiences and learn why it's crucial to stay accountable and listen more than you speak. With a dash of humour and raw honesty, the episode is a reminder that while recovery is serious business, there's always room for laughter along the way.
So, are you ready to keep your ego in check and stay grounded on your path to sobriety?
