Reexamining Faith in Recovery: A Critical View of AA/NA's 12 Steps

Observation number two: and it says: if Jesus is the only one that can save us, that means he's the only one that can save us, not only from eternity, where we're choosing to spend it, but the only one who can save us right here and right now, where I need victory over my sins and addictions.
Imagine finding out that the foundation of a widely trusted recovery program might be flawed. In this episode of ASAP Recovery, the hosts dive into a heated topic within addiction recovery circles: the concept of a higher power in AA/NA's 12 Step Model. They argue that from its early days, the model's foundation has been shaky, leading to unnecessary suffering and loss.
The discussion centers on the first three steps of the 12 Step Model, presenting what they believe is undeniable proof that these steps have been built on unstable ground. The hosts emphasize the importance of having a correct understanding of God, rather than relying on personal interpretations or misconceptions. They caution against the dangers of worshiping false gods or deities and trusting one's own limited understanding as a guiding force.
Instead, they advocate for an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ as a cornerstone for true recovery. This episode challenges listeners to rethink their approach to spirituality in recovery and to seek strength through the word of God. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the intersection of faith and sobriety, this episode offers a thought-provoking perspective that may change how you view the journey to sobriety.
