Above everything, we alcoholics must be rid of this selfishness. The rest of the world is going to be as the rest of the world is. If I want to live long and be happy, I'm going to have to get rid of selfishness.
Ever felt trapped by your own self-centered thoughts? In this episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald shares his personal battle with selfishness and its impact on his journey to sobriety. Joe doesn't just talk about the problem; he offers a heartfelt exploration of how selfishness can sabotage recovery and lead to a life filled with unnecessary suffering.
Drawing from his own experiences and the teachings of Alcoholics Anonymous, Joe emphasizes that selfishness is a common pitfall for many struggling with addiction. It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking we're unique in our struggles, but Joe reminds us that these feelings of self-importance are just part of the problem. The real challenge lies in overcoming this mindset, which, as Joe explains, isn't something you can do alone.
A higher power, which for Joe is God, plays a crucial role in this transformation. With divine help, it's possible to shift focus from oneself to helping others, paving the way for lasting recovery and true happiness. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with the weight of selfishness and seeking a more fulfilling, selfless life.
