There are things about myself that are likable...that is one of the great gifts of recovery.
Ever wondered if the concept of a 'higher power' could help in overcoming addiction? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Alcohol Free Life', Janey Lee Grace chats with Dr. Peg O'Connor, a philosophy professor and author, to unpack this very idea. Dr. Peg brings her expertise in moral and feminist philosophy, along with her deep understanding of addiction studies, to the table.
They dive into how the notion of higher powers, often central to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), can be both a beacon of hope and a stumbling block, especially for those who aren't religious or find spiritual concepts challenging. Janey and Dr. Peg also touch on some pressing issues, like the alarming rise in alcohol-related deaths among women over 50 and the growing trend of sober curiosity.
The conversation doesn't shy away from discussing the benefits of recovery, self-discovery, and how spirituality and self-awareness play crucial roles in achieving a joyful, healthy, and brave life without alcohol. This episode is a treasure trove of insights and inspiration for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. With engaging discussions and heartfelt stories, Janey and Dr. Peg offer a fresh perspective on finding meaning and liberation through sobriety.
Whether you're skeptical about the spiritual side of recovery or looking for new ways to support your journey, this episode has something valuable for you.
