But there is one who has all power. That one is god.
Ever felt overwhelmed by the cunning and baffling nature of alcohol? Joe McDonald gets real about this in 'Position of Neutrality'. This episode dives into the crucial role of a higher power in the journey to sobriety. Drawing from the foundational principles of Alcoholics Anonymous, Joe unpacks why the founders believed that recovery hinges on acknowledging a power greater than oneself.
He paints a vivid picture of how this higher power, often referred to as 'God' in AA, is more about tapping into a source of strength that transcends personal limitations. Joe emphasizes that without this external support, alcohol can feel like an unbeatable adversary. But with it, the path to taking control of one's thoughts and emotions becomes clearer.
The episode is a blend of profound insights and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Joe's empathetic approach and straightforward style offer both hope and actionable steps, reminding us that while we must take responsibility for our own recovery, we don't have to do it alone.
