Facilitated by John, this audio explores the idea of holding onto recovery with the same urgency as a drowning person reaching for a life preserver. The group looks at the inner struggles of addictionism, the challenge of accepting powerlessness, and the process of finding a Higher Power.

You will hear about the truth that addictionism is not only physical but deeply rooted in the mind, shaping our thoughts, reactions, and relationships even in sobriety. John describes how desperation can open the door to willingness, and how practicing spiritual principles with passion can transform daily living.  Topics covered include:

• Facing the “unpalatable truth” that addictionism is a disease of the mind.
• The necessity of grasping spiritual principles with wholehearted effort.
• Understanding emotional reactions such as anger, self-pity, and depression as part of the illness.
• Developing tolerance and compassion in relationships.
• Letting go of old ideas to create space for growth and connection.

This audio is an encouraging reminder that progress comes not from perfection, but from a consistent willingness to apply principles, and by seeking support.  This also touches on paths 3 and 4.
