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'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.
