Über diesen Titel

 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.

    Personal Agency in Emotional Sobriety
    Jan 19 2026

    "I didn't have a choice."

    You're selling yourself short. Or you mean, the choice seemed obvious to you. But still, you made the choice.

    Or - you are making an excuse, ducking responsibility, for a poor choice that you made.

    Because...

    We always have choices.

    Even not making a choice is a choice.

    Jan 12 2026

    Today’s Nutshell Wisdom: The big difference between passing judgment and exercising judgment: One focuses attention on something I do not control. The other focuses on precisely what I do control.

    Today we’re back to the serenity prayer and describing what emotional sobriety’s “discovery of new possibilities” could practically mean.

    Resilience Myths
    Jan 1 2026

    Joe C. quotes Joseph Campbell: “We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.”

    Thom’s nutshell for today: “Measure your progress in units of willingness instead of willpower, with degrees of self-acceptance rather than change."

    Allen, Thom, Joe and Patrick each talk about how their understanding of emotional sobriety has evolved over the past year, looking ahead to 2026.
