Recovery principles are really the things that have worked in my life. It's not what I know, it's what I did.
In this engaging episode of M2 The Rock, host Michael Molthan delves into the transformative power of recovery principles in various types of relationships. The podcast emphasizes the importance of practicing the 12-step program as a way to improve one's quality of life and relationships, both personally and professionally. The episode is structured around four key areas: community, friends and family, intimate relationships, and work relationships.
Through the teachings of Bill Wilson, co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, listeners are reminded that sobriety and freedom from alcohol through the practice of the 12 steps are the core purpose of AA groups. Molthan underscores the significance of applying these steps not just to overcome addiction, but to foster meaningful connections. Molthan shares personal anecdotes from his own journey, highlighting the change in his life and relationships once he committed to consistent meeting attendance and working with an experienced sponsor.
He recalls how, initially, the meetings he attended focused more on oral traditions and wisdom teachings, but evolved to have a stronger emphasis on the structured recovery program. The principles taught in AA meetings are described as spiritual in nature, capable of expelling the obsession to drink and enabling individuals to become happily and usefully whole. This spiritual framework supports individuals in transforming their relationships from chaotic and harmful to stable and fulfilling.
Molthan recounts his own experiences of making amends and developing healthier relationships, illustrating how recovery principles have enriched his life. He speaks of his successful career as a manager, a role that would have seemed impossible during his years of drinking, and how these principles have helped him become a compassionate yet efficient leader.
The episode concludes with an invitation to upcoming talks that further explore recovery in relationships, encouraging listeners to bring friends and family along to learn and grow together. Through this podcast, Molthan aims to inspire hope and demonstrate the profound impact of recovery principles on all aspects of life.
