Carrying the message isn't just something, it's everything.
How does professionalism fit into the world of Alcoholics Anonymous? In this episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, is joined by Chris Schroeder to dissect Tradition Eight from 'The Twelve Steps & Twelve Traditions'. Chris, a renowned Circuit Speaker, takes listeners on a detailed journey through the pages of this pivotal book, shedding light on how professionalism and AA intersect.
Tradition Eight states that Alcoholics Anonymous should remain non-professional, but what does that really mean? Monty and Chris explore the balance between professional treatment providers and the grassroots support AA offers. They delve into the importance of self-support through contributions, maintaining anonymity, and the potential risks when anonymity is broken. This episode is more than just an educational session; it's a call to break the stigma surrounding addiction.
By discussing the structure of fellowships and the concept of service, Monty and Chris aim to inspire listeners to carry the message to those still suffering. They emphasize that while AA offers a unique support system, it may not work for everyone, highlighting the need for a multifaceted approach to recovery. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights into the workings of AA and the principles that guide it.
Tune in for an engaging and thought-provoking discussion that aims to deepen your understanding of recovery and inspire you on your journey.
