Powerlessness in Addiction: Myth or Reality? A Take 12 Recovery Radio Debate

I'm not powerless all the power, I'm control over my own destiny. I'm not gonna give up my control to anybody.
Is powerlessness a myth or a reality in addiction recovery? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', hosts Dave Fleming and the Monty'man tackle this controversial question head-on. They dive into the heart of the debate: Are individuals truly powerless over their addictions, or do they possess the power to change their lives?
Drawing from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, which states, 'Lack of power, that was our dilemma', they explore what it means to find a power greater than oneself and how this concept fits into modern recovery practices. The hosts share personal stories and insights from their extensive work in the recovery community, offering a balanced look at both sides of the argument.
They also discuss the role of choice and free will in overcoming addiction, and how embracing or rejecting the idea of powerlessness can impact one's recovery journey. This episode is not just about theory; it's about real-life implications and the paths people take to reclaim their lives. With a closing song by Mark Elder, 'If I Don’t Get a Drink I’ll Die', this episode promises to leave you with much to ponder.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the complexities of addiction, this discussion will provide valuable perspectives.
