In this episode of Sober Cast, Murph from the Primetime group takes centre stage to share his experiences on the topic of 'Alcoholism, Ego, and Self'. With a focus on the first three steps of the AA programme, Murph delves into how these foundational steps have shaped his journey towards sobriety. He candidly discusses the concept of being 'treated' or 'untreated' on a daily basis, emphasising the importance of carrying God in his consciousness to stay on the right path.
Murph's story is a raw and honest exploration of how trauma and ego have played roles in his life, creating a false self that kept him isolated and fuelled his addiction. He explains how this false self leads to negative self-talk and behaviours that many can relate to, such as making resolutions that are hard to keep.
Through his heartfelt narrative, Murph illustrates the significance of surrendering to a higher power and aligning one's will with God's to achieve a spiritual awakening. His journey from resentment and anger towards empathy and understanding is both moving and inspiring. By sharing personal anecdotes about his family and his struggles, Murph highlights the transformative power of the AA steps. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking insight into the deeper psychological aspects of alcoholism and the path to recovery.
