This podcast is about a genuine recovery and not a fake one.
We learn that:
- If we do not surrender to a teaching, do not completely give ourselves “to this simple program” we’re likely to not get any of the major benefits that we ourselves seek.
- We are all lazy to some extent in that we want to go through the motions and fear going deeper. It’s the fear that blocks us from personal growth.
- We who have an “addict in the house”, a person whom we love dearly, discover in Al-Anon or in some other way that we are as powerless over addiction and as sick as is the addict himself.
- We must ask ourselves if we want something for nothing, or if we are willing to make the necessary sacrifices in order to become free and grow as humans.
- The essence of the art of life, it is taught, is the acquired ability to live in the present moment where the ego and the fears it generates disappear.
