“Believe it or not, not everybody you're going to see in aa is there to get well.”
Ever wondered how spirituality and moral psychology play a role in addiction recovery? Joe Hawk takes us back to 1987, sharing his first week at the Salvation Army in Santa Monica with Mad Dog Recovery. In this episode, Joe reflects on the Big Book's importance and the deep spiritual undertones of the AA program. He highlights the significance of the circle with a triangle, a symbol often associated with AA's core principles.
Joe cautions against oversimplifying the program and emphasizes understanding the physical aspects of alcoholism. He dives into the application of moral psychology within AA, discussing the phenomenon of craving and the program's promises. Joe's insights offer a unique perspective on identifying with others' experiences while recognizing the individual journey each person takes through addiction and recovery. This episode is a thoughtful exploration of the complexities of addiction and the hope that recovery brings.
