Taking a commercial inventory is a fact-finding and a fact-facing process. It’s an effort to discover the truth about the stock in trade.
Ever wondered how a commercial inventory can relate to your personal journey towards sobriety? Joe McDonald dives into this unique analogy in the 'Position of Neutrality' podcast, specifically focusing on Step 4 of Alcoholics Anonymous. This episode is all about taking stock of your life, much like a business owner would with their inventory, and identifying the 'damaged goods' that need to be addressed.
Joe reads from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, providing a detailed look at how this step is designed to help you uncover and confront your personal flaws and mistakes. With a mix of humour and deep reflection, Joe makes the process of self-examination less daunting and more relatable. He emphasises the importance of honesty in this step, as fooling yourself about your values can hinder your recovery journey.
By the end of the episode, you'll have a clearer understanding of how to apply these principles to your own life, making it an essential listen for anyone on the path to recovery or supporting someone who is. So, are you ready to take a closer look at your 'stock in trade' and make some positive changes?
