Embracing 'Not Knowing' in Alcohol Recovery: Lessons from the Tao Te Ching
“Having a 'not knowing' mind toward all things, starting with our recovery, leaves room for the right answers to show themselves.”
What if the key to overcoming addiction lies in embracing what you don't know?

The discussion centers around how adopting a 'not knowing' mindset can open up new paths to recovery, allowing the right answers to naturally emerge.
The hosts explore how this Taoist concept provides a fresh perspective on the idea of a Higher Power, drawing from nature's simplicity rather than traditional religious views. They also touch on the importance of surrendering powerlessness over alcohol and maintaining a beginner's mind.
