I admit my powerlessness every day in the hopes that one day I'll actually accept it, because I think admission is a cognitive exercise and acceptance is unconscious, and I still struggle with that all of the time.

Randy shares his personal journey and struggles, highlighting how embracing defeat and surrendering to a higher power has been crucial in his path to sobriety.
Through candid discussions, he explains how meditation and recovery retreats have been instrumental in helping him and others find inner peace and purpose. Randy's honest reflections reveal that admitting powerlessness is more than just a cognitive exercise; it's an ongoing challenge that requires both mental and emotional acceptance. With a mix of heartfelt stories and practical advice, this episode offers a unique perspective on the importance of surrender in overcoming addiction.
Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Randy's insights provide a comforting reminder that strength can be found in surrender.
