In the rooms we talk about “working a good program,” yet many of us — even with long-term sobriety — still procrastinate on the daily disciplines that actually keep us sober and spiritually fit. We know what we need to do, but we put it off, make excuses, or wait until we “feel like it.” This procrastination is self-will in action. Today we use the Big Book and 12&12 to look at the Problem, the Solution, and how to live it. 🎧 Wherever you listen to podcasts 🕕 New episodes Sundays @ 6PM CST 🌐 www.relevant-recovery.org 🔗 linktr.ee/relevantrecovery #ForGoodAndForAll #RelevantRecovery #12Steps #WeDoRecover #SoberPodcast #Godtho
Ep 248The Heart of Real Recovery - Episode 248
In this episode, we talk about how even in sobriety, many of us still wear a mask—hiding struggles, managing our image, and letting fear and ego take the lead. Using the Big Book and 12&12, we explore the problem and the solution through humility, authenticity, and living honestly in recovery. 🎧 Wherever you listen to podcasts 🕕 New episodes Sundays @ 6PM CST 🌐 www.relevant-recovery.org 🔗 linktr.ee/relevantrecovery #ForGoodAndForAll #RelevantRecovery #12Steps #WeDoRecover #SoberPodcast #Godtho
