Love and tolerance of others is our code, it says. It's a principle that we live by.
This episode sheds light on the personal battles against addiction, focusing on the final steps of the Alcoholics Anonymous programme. As part of the 'Stay Sober for Keeps' workshop, listeners are taken through steps 10 to 12, offering a detailed exploration of maintaining sobriety through daily practices and spiritual growth. The speakers, with humour and honesty, discuss the importance of continuous self-inventory and amends, emphasising that sobriety is a lifelong journey rather than a destination.
They compare the process to riding a bicycle—stop pedalling, and you'll fall over, highlighting the necessity of constant growth and vigilance. The episode also delves into the concept of 'watch, ask, turn,' a mantra for addressing selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear as they arise. The speakers remind us that keeping spiritually fit is crucial for recovery and that helping others is not just beneficial but essential for maintaining sobriety.
You'll hear about the miraculous shift in attitude towards alcohol, where it becomes a non-issue, and the transformative power of carrying the message to other alcoholics. The episode offers practical advice on how to integrate these steps into everyday life, encouraging listeners to cultivate love and tolerance as guiding principles. Are you ready to learn how these steps can lead to a fulfilling sober life?
