Relevant Recovery

We used to roll our eyes every time someone suggested a gratitude list. It felt cheesy, forced, and like it couldn't possibly solve real problems. So what changed? This week, we're talking about why we resisted gratitude, what the AA Big Book taught us about changing our perspective, and how surrender transformed something we once mocked into one of the most practical tools in recovery.   🎧 Wherever you listen to podcasts 🕕 New episodes Sundays @ 6:00 PM CST 🌐 www.relevant-recovery.org 🔗 linktr.ee/relevantrecovery   #ForGoodAndForAll #RelevantRecovery #12Steps #BigBook #AlcoholicsAnonymous #Recovery #Sobriety #Gratitude #SpiritualAwakening #WeDoRecover #GodThoughts

Many people refer to Steps 10–12 as the “maintenance steps,” often pointing to the phrase “maintenance of our spiritual condition” (BB p.85). But a closer look at AA literature shows something very different: these are not maintenance steps at all—they are growth steps.   🎧 Wherever you listen to podcasts 🕕 New episodes Sundays @ 6PM CST 🌐 www.relevant-recovery.org 🔗 linktr.ee/relevantrecovery   #ForGoodAndForAll #RelevantRecovery #12Steps #WeDoRecover #SoberPodcast #Godtho

We live in a constant state of propulsion— always waiting on the next thing, chasing the next milestone, or dreading what hasn't happened yet. Recovery calls us back to the present moment, but our old wiring fights hard against it. Today we look at what Spirituality can teach us about patience — not as passive waiting, but as active trust in God's timing.     🎧 Wherever you listen to podcasts 🕕 New episodes Sundays @ 6PM CST 🌐 www.relevant-recovery.org 🔗 linktr.ee/relevantrecovery   #ForGoodAndForAll #RelevantRecovery #12Steps #WeDoRecover #SoberPodcast #Godtho

Turning Pain into Purpose — Episode 251   We often carry shame, guilt, and remorse like a weight that holds us back, yet the Big Book and the 12-Step principles show us that those very things — when processed honestly and surrendered — become some of our greatest assets in helping others. Today we look at how we stop letting our past define us and start letting it propel us.   🎧 Wherever you listen to podcasts 🕕 New episodes Sundays @ 6PM CST 🌐 www.relevant-recovery.org 🔗 linktr.ee/relevantrecovery   #ForGoodAndForAll #RelevantRecovery #12Steps #WeDoRecover #SoberPodcast #Godtho
