About Emotional Sobriety: The Next Step in Recovery
Bill Wilson, co-founder of Alcoholic's Anonymous, wrote in 1952, "If we examine every disturbance we have, great or small, we will find at the root some unhealthy dependence and its consequent demand." Wilson suggested that if we could identify and continually surrender these unrealistic and unrecognizable demands, that we may then be able to accomplish what he imagined to be recovery's next frontier - something he called emotional sobriety. Flash forward 70 years, and join psychotherapists and best-selling authors Thom Rutledge and Dr. Allen Berger, who have taken up the mantle of exploring Bill Wilson's new frontier. Welcome to Emotional Sobriety.

Let's say you give a great talk. Let's see you do a great video. You do an editing that you feel good about. And in a person, somebody doesn't like it. Well, if you're dependent on people's approval, you're going to feel bad about it. If you're okay with yourself, you're going to say, hey, it's not about everybody liking it. I just may need to make sure whoever authored the work or ordered the work is pleased with it. That's good enough for me. […]
