Mastering Discipline: Dean's Insights on Recovery

Discipline is not punishment. Discipline is a regimen that you practice on a regular basis. It's not just about what you do, it's about how you do it. And that's where I think the wisdom of a sponsor who's looking from the outside comes in.
What does it really mean to stay disciplined in recovery? In this episode of 'All Our Affairs: Practicing Principles', hosts Stuart and Leeanne are joined by Dean to explore this crucial topic. Dean shares his belief that discipline is not about punishment, but about creating a consistent routine that supports sobriety. He emphasizes the importance of having a sponsor, someone who can provide an outside perspective and guide you through the principles of 12-step recovery.
The conversation takes an interesting turn as they discuss the difference between rigid rules and adaptable axioms. Stuart points out that while rules can be strict, axioms are flexible guidelines that can be applied to various situations. This adaptability is key in maintaining balance and discipline in everyday life. Leeanne opens up about her own experiences with making amends, stressing the need for honesty and sincerity.
Dean adds that discipline involves trusting yourself and being willing to take responsibility for your actions. They all agree that living a self-regulating life, guided by principles of discipline and sobriety, can help navigate life's ups and downs. This episode offers valuable insights and practical advice for anyone looking to strengthen their recovery journey.
