True giving isn’t about being drained, it’s about being directed.
What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? This episode of the RAW Recovery Podcast, 'It is not a matter of giving but how and when! (The Daily Trudge),' explores this question through the lens of spiritual growth and the delicate balance of giving. Host Dion shares his insights on how true generosity in recovery isn't about exhausting oneself, but about giving wisely and with intention.
He reflects on the common mistake of giving too much too soon or to the wrong causes, leaving one feeling depleted rather than fulfilled. In this candid conversation, Dion shares personal anecdotes and light-hearted humour, making serious topics more accessible. He discusses how service work and sponsorship play vital roles in maintaining sobriety, while also highlighting the importance of not becoming overly dependent on others for one's recovery.
The episode also touches on the concept of 'living amends' and the power of spiritual progress not just for oneself, but for everyone around. Listeners are encouraged to consider how they balance their own giving in life and recovery. Are you giving from a place of love and guidance, or are you driven by guilt and ego? The episode serves as a reminder that recovery is a journey that requires both self-care and community support.
So, how do you ensure your giving is meaningful and sustainable?
