Tao of Our understanding Alcohol Recovery Podcast

In the 6th Chapter of the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu shows us our part in life is so much different than we may think. We learn that our job is to “listen for the echo.” Can we allow the noise to be removed from our lives? Can we let go of our agenda long enough to hear our real, peace-giving agenda?

Do you want to stop drinking? Have you ever listened to sobriety podcasts? Does alcoholism or addiction run in your family? Have you tried Alcoholics Anonymous or the 12 Steps of AA? Tao Te Ching quotes, and the teachings of Lao Tzu give an excellent description of a working Higher Power. Are you considering how to get sober? Are you seriously thinking about sobriety for the first time being alcohol is controlling your life as never before?

Lao Tzu discusses in the 12th Chapter of the Tao Te Ching; Living with inner conviction – How well we let go and live by that natural state of the Tao, not how much we know!

In the 73rd Chapter of the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu describes how the Tao is at ease at all times, accomplishes all, and nothing escapes its plan. Great discussion of how to live in ease and the manifestations of ego and fear in the journey of sobriety. Don’t forget to check out the resources that are listed at the bottom of this description!

In this episode, we discuss light quotes in the Tao Te Ching and the analogy of lighting a room and how this is similar to our approach to recovery. The dark is not a problem – once we bring light into the room the darkness leaves with no effort on our part.

Much of my problems in life are self-inflicted. I try to control many things that I am incapable of controlling. This "living letting go" is a very different lifestyle than I led before recovery.

We are looking forward to seeing you at an upcoming meeting!
