Our readiness to change comes from the awareness of how we are harming ourselves and therefore God. I don't get to choose which defects God will remove. I find that living with my defects continues to teach me humility.
Ever wondered why Step Six is such a pivotal part of addiction recovery? This episode of 'Recovery Road' dives into the heart of this crucial step, offering insights from the book 'Drop the Rock: Removing Character Defects' by Bill P and Todd W. Hosted by William C. Moyers, the episode sheds light on the importance of surrendering and trusting a higher power rather than relying solely on self-determination.
Moyers, along with his guests, discusses how being ready and willing can make all the difference in your recovery journey. They explore how emotional pain can act as a catalyst for positive change and warn about the pitfalls of spiritual pride. Through personal stories and practical advice, this episode emphasizes that true recovery requires not just action but also a deep trust in something greater than oneself.
One standout quote from Deb captures the essence of this step: 'God, not me, makes me different by giving me what it takes to change. It is my job to act and behave like the change has occurred'. If you're navigating your way through recovery and looking for guidance on embracing surrender and trust, this episode offers valuable perspectives that can help you on your path to long-term sobriety.
