The Psychic Change That Makes Step One Possible

from RAW Recovery Podcast Hosted by trudgingtogether

The Psychic Change That Makes Step One Possible In The Doctor’s Opinion, Dr. Silkworth says that without an entire psychic change, there is very little hope of recovery—and that once this change occurs, the alcoholic begins to experience alcohol and recovery differently. AA itself summarizes the psychic change as necessary for recovery. Today we’ll talk about that change of mind that can happen before we are ready to fully admit Step One. Something shifts. Denial begins to break. The old explanations stop working. We become able to see that alcohol has defeated us and that our lives have become unmanageable. Step One does not create the psychic change. The psychic change can make us capable of finally seeing and admitting the truth of Step One. #TheDailyTrudge #PsychicChange #StepOne #AlcoholicsAnonymous #DoctorsOpinion #BigBook #Powerlessness #Recovery #Sobriety #AARecovery
