Our troubles, we think, are basically of our own making.
Have you ever wondered how much of your struggles are self-inflicted? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald takes a hard look at the troubles we create for ourselves. As someone who has battled alcoholism, Joe candidly shares his experience of being an extreme example of self-will-run riot. He stresses that the journey to sobriety isn't about changing others but focusing on what he needs to do to stay on track.
Joe doesn’t sugarcoat the difficulties; he acknowledges that overcoming selfishness requires significant emotional and mental growth. He also highlights the pivotal role of a higher power, or 'God Power', in this transformative process. The episode is a raw and honest exploration of how personal growth and spiritual support can help in navigating the rocky path to sobriety. If you're grappling with similar issues or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a wealth of insights and encouragement.
