In this powerful and heartfelt share at Tennessee State Convention 2001, Don M. explores the transformative journey of recovery through the lens of ego, humility, god and the spiritual principles behind Steps 6 and 7. Speaking with candor and wisdom, Don reflects on the ongoing process of confronting self-will and allowing a Higher Power to shape his character.
Key Insights:
- Ego blocks spiritual growth by keeping us trapped in self-centered thinking and resistance to change.
- Step 6 is about willingness—truly becoming ready to let go of the defects that no longer serve us.
- Step 7 is about surrender—asking a Higher Power to remove those defects with humility and trust.
- Self-will subtly returns, often disguised as control or fear, and must be continually surrendered.
- Recovery is a daily practice, not a destination, rooted in spiritual growth and continued willingness.
