It's a relationship with a power greater than me living in me. He often allows me to behave better than I'm thinking.
What if the key to recovery lies not in strict religious doctrines, but in forming a personal connection with a higher power? In this episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald dives into the transformative concept presented by the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous. The discussion revolves around the idea that recovery is about building a relationship with a power greater than oneself, rather than adhering to a rigid theological framework.
Using the chapter 'To the Agnostic' from the book 'Alcoholics Anonymous', Joe explains how individuals can come to believe in and harness this power. He likens it to electricity – unseen but undeniably powerful, and something we can all feel and use. This episode is a thought-provoking exploration of how understanding and embracing this sensory nature of a higher power can enhance one's journey to sobriety.
By tuning in, listeners can gain a deeper appreciation of how this relationship can help them behave better than their thoughts might suggest, ultimately supporting their path to recovery.
