For when harboring such feelings, we shut ourselves off from the sunlight of the spirit. The insanity of alcohol returns and we drink again with us. To drink is to die.
Ever wondered why holding onto anger feels like drinking poison? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald digs deep into the corrosive nature of resentment and its impact on recovery. Joe makes a compelling case that merely abstaining from alcohol isn't enough for true recovery. Instead, he stresses the need for spiritual growth and the importance of relying on a power greater than ourselves.
He shares practical insights on how to shift our focus from worldly dependencies to spiritual ones, highlighting the crucial role of discipline in our thought life. Joe warns that harboring resentment can block us from the 'sunlight of the spirit' and pull us back into the chaos of addiction. For anyone seeking lasting change, this episode offers valuable perspectives on how to free oneself from the chains of anger and move towards genuine recovery.
