EPISODE #49: ORDINARY PEOPLE
Manage episode 310956984 series 3078445
This episode begins our study of the work The Homely Virtues, focusing on the Prelude or "Introductory," called "Ordinary People," and the intersection with programs of recovery. I find it fascinating that a book that predates the 12 & 12 by almost fifty years or more could so eloquently and exactly mirror the last paragraphs in Step 12 of that seminal work. My Disease "wants" me to think I am special, wants me to constantly compare myself to others in an effort to be "extraordinary." My Higher Power wants me to have profound happiness, found only when I rest easy knowing that I have done my duty, held that small patch of ground in a sensible, responsible, "ordinary" way.
