Don M. on Nashville Recovery Convention, shares his journey to sobriety, attributing his 35 years of recovery to divine support, community, and the 12-step program. He discusses the relationship between ego disorder and addiction, emphasizing how self-centeredness fueled his alcoholism.
Ideas:
- "Powerlessness over alcohol requires individuals to take responsibility for their actions and choices regarding drinking."
- "Recovery requires doing the right thing regardless of how one feels, rather than waiting for motivation."
- "True recovery requires humility, not just intellectual understanding or psychological approaches."
- "Accepting my limitations in character change helped me learn to act with acceptance and faith."
- "The steps in the Big Book are a straightforward prescription that must be followed like a child learns."
- "Words shape reality; realization brings knowledge into personal truth."
