BASICS OF RECOVERY: As the Founders Saw It (5 Programs)
This five part video series from Earnie Larsen focuses on the "exact nature" of recovery according to the Founders. The Founders focused on the famous "hole in the soul" as the place to start understanding both addiction and recovery. Their focus was the radical inner change, though this change is often slow and never perfect, that alone has the power to not only arrest addiction but also move the recovering person into the life of The Promises. Much of their focus has been lost over the years. Perhaps it is time to return to their vision.
THE BASICS - The Founders had very clear ideas about what the "Problem" was, what the Solution to the Problem was, and exactly how to work the Steps. Has that clear vision been lost? 25 minutes
WORKING THE STEPS - Understanding "working the Steps" in the context of how the Founders saw both the problem and the solution adds a dimension to the steps often missed today. Learn the connection between "working the Steps" and "having a spiritual awakening". 26 minutes
EMOTIONAL MANAGEMENT - Emotional management is a key element of quality recovery. It's important to understand that "sometimes feelings lie". Knowing the difference between the "old lie" and the "new truth" is critical to the kind of recovery the Founders envisioned. 29 minutes
WORKING YOUR PERSONAL PROGRAM - Program means practice. Connecting the dots between understanding "the solution" and creating a "spiritual awakening" are important elements in establishing the kind of recovery the Founders developed. 28 minutes
HEALING THE DEEPER HURT: Stage III Recovery - Early childhood trauma profoundly affects recovery. If childhood trauma is part of a recovering person's experience, then they must take that into account to achieve the serenity of recovery and then to offer "strength and hope" to those coming along behind them. 27 minutes
