When we exercise these abilities, we implement our spirit. We are then spiritual, and our spirituality influences the way we think, feel and behave.
What role does spirituality play in recovery from addiction and mental illness? In this episode of the 'Dual Recovery Anonymous Podcast', the hosts dive into the 2nd step of their program, which emphasizes the significance of spiritual growth. They kick off by introducing the book 'Steps in Dual Disorders' and underline the importance of seeking external support on the recovery journey.
The conversation then shifts to exploring what makes us human—the ability to ponder our existence and differentiate right from wrong, which they identify as the essence of the human spirit. The hosts highlight how character development, driven by self-reflection and improvement, is a cornerstone of recovery. They also stress the necessity of abstinence and control, pointing out how mood-altering substances can cloud our perception and hinder our progress.
A key theme in this episode is the idea of a higher power. The hosts clarify that this higher power doesn’t have to fit into traditional religious frameworks; it’s about finding something greater than oneself to lean on. The episode wraps up with an inspiring call-to-action, urging listeners to surrender to a higher power and cultivate gratitude in their daily lives.
If you're looking for a meaningful way to enhance your recovery journey, this episode offers valuable insights into how spirituality can be a powerful tool.
