Step 9 Promises and Step 10: Podcast by Janet B. 06.06.22

This podcast excerpt delves into the "promises" of recovery as outlined in Step 9 of a Twelve-Step program, emphasizing that these benefits—such as new freedom, happiness, serenity, and peace—are not automatically granted but are the result of painstaking effort in "this phase of our development." The speaker, Janet B., elaborates on "powerlessness" over addictive behaviors, defining it as a "broken memory problem" where the mind fails to protect individuals from harmful choices, unlike other self-preservation instincts. She then outlines the progression through the initial steps: admitting powerlessness (Step 1), cultivating a relationship with a "Power greater than ourselves" (Step 2), and surrendering one's will (Step 3), leading to a softening of obsessive thoughts. The discussion culminates in the transition to Step 10, which focuses on continuous self-correction and maintaining a "fit spiritual condition," ultimately resulting in a miraculous, automatic neutrality towards the addictive substance, a state requiring ongoing vigilance as recovery is a "daily reprieve" contingent on spiritual maintenance.
