What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In the latest episode of 'On the Battlefield,' Fr. Joseph Collins and Fr. Michael Marcantoni tackle the concept of grandiosity and its impact on addiction recovery. They explore the allure of being 'somebody' versus the quiet heroism found in embracing anonymity. Through the lens of classic literature, like Homer's 'Odyssey,' they highlight how grandiosity can lead to self-destruction, while humility can foster genuine happiness and sobriety. Fr. Joseph and Fr.
Michael delve into the importance of rigorous honesty in recovery, emphasising that the need for lies is a red flag for relapse.
