Episode Overview
- Step 10 is crucial for continuous spiritual growth.
- Recognising self-centred thinking helps overcome character defects.
- Forgiveness liberates us from resentment.
- Daily practice of the steps is essential for peace.
- Embracing humility allows for personal growth.
Forgiveness is for us. It's not for them.
In this episode of 'Experience The Big Book', Dr. Mike takes listeners on a journey through Step 10 of the AA 12-step programme. The conversation kicks off with the set-aside prayer, asking for guidance and clarity. Dr. Mike shares his wisdom from nearly two decades of studying the Big Book, emphasising the importance of recognising and overcoming self-centred thinking. He delves into how our character defects often stem from self-centredness, leading to resentment, fear, and guilt.
The episode is filled with anecdotes and reflections, including a touching share from an 18-year-old trying to turn his life around. Dr. Mike discusses the power of forgiveness and how it liberates us from the shackles of resentment. He likens Step 10 to early detection in medicine – it's about catching discomfort before it spirals out of control. Listeners are encouraged to continuously practice the steps, with Step 10 acting as a daily tool for spiritual growth.
By understanding our wrongs and defects, we can align more closely with God's will and find peace. Dr. Mike's humorous take on sports fanaticism serves as a metaphor for how we often misplace blame and get stuck in self-centred thinking. The episode wraps up with a call to embrace humility and recognise our brokenness, allowing us to grow in spirit and harmony.
For those seeking a deeper understanding of recovery and the Big Book, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Whether you're new to AA or a seasoned member, there's something here for everyone.
