Episode Overview

A decision isn't a decision unless followed by action.
Step 3 of the 12-step programme is where the rubber meets the road. Bradley Saxon, along with CJ Carlton and Steven Sanders, guides you through the critical juncture of making a decision to turn your life over to the care of a higher power. This episode of SOBER: The Podcast dives into the importance of understanding what a decision truly means—it's not just about thinking or planning, but about taking real action.
Saxon uses a humorous analogy involving frogs on a log to illustrate that decisions only matter when followed by action. You might think there’s one frog left after two decide to jump, but in reality, all three remain until they actually leap. This metaphor sets the stage for understanding the commitment required in Step 3. The hosts discuss the concept of 'stones' in the recovery journey, likening them to building blocks in an archway that leads to freedom.
The keystone, Step 3, is essential as it helps build the foundation for subsequent steps. Saxon emphasises that many people rush through these steps without fully grasping their significance, often missing out on the transformative potential they offer. The episode delves into self-awareness and spiritual growth, highlighting how over-reliance on oneself can be a barrier to recovery.
It's about recognising that self-centeredness is at the root of many problems and learning to trust in a higher power to bring balance and peace. Saxon and his co-hosts make it clear that Step 3 is not about turning everything over immediately; it's about starting the journey with faith and action. So why should you listen? If you're grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers invaluable perspectives on making life-altering decisions.
It's not just about sobriety—it's about finding a new way to live that brings lasting peace and contentment. Are you ready to make that leap?
