Step 5: Finding Sanity and Wholeness on Love Your Life Podcast
“I have a disease that talks to me in my own voice. I can sit there on the couch and be interacting with my wife, or be sitting at dinner and interacting with a table full of people at dinner, and a resentment goes off in my mind and I'm still carrying on a conversation, but I still want to kill somebody and it ruins my dinner and nobody at the table did anything or said anything that was bothersome.”
Ever wondered how admitting your wrongs can set you free? In this episode of 'Love Your Life', Randy Mermell takes listeners on a heartfelt journey through Step 5 of the recovery process. Randy shares his personal battles with addiction and the profound impact it had on his mental health. He opens up about the moment he realized that addiction was like a voice in his head, sabotaging even the simplest joys of life. But there's a silver lining.
Randy found relief and a sense of sanity through self-reflection and honesty. He emphasizes the power of admitting our wrongs to ourselves, to God, and to another human being. This step, he believes, is crucial for overcoming self-reliance and learning to trust others again. But what if you're not religious? Randy reassures that a higher power doesn't have to be a deity; it can be anything that brings peace and purpose to your life.
His reflections offer a comforting message of hope and healing, making this episode a must-listen for anyone on their own path to sobriety and self-discovery.
