Joining him are six friends in recovery from the US, South Africa, and Australia, who share their experiences and wisdom on letting go of the past to make room for a healthier future. They discuss the importance of spirituality and staying ready to pour out blessings to others.
Ben kicks things off with an analogy involving cups and God's blessings, illustrating how healing and faith play crucial roles in recovery. Charlie expands on this with his idea of a 'faith bar', where instead of alcohol, they fill their cups with the word of God. Eddie adds that growth comes from letting go of past baggage while maintaining a balance between past experiences and present life.
Dante emphasises the need to be intentional about emptying one's cup to avoid getting caught up in worldly cares. Harry shares how acknowledging his addiction and getting involved in spiritual activities helped him refill his cup with positivity. Finally, Freddie wraps up with a powerful message about surrendering control and trusting a higher power, using lyrics from Cheap Trick's song 'Surrender' to highlight the importance of acceptance and guidance in recovery.
