That was me trying to fix something that only a spiritual solution will satisfy.
Imagine trying to fill a void in your life with material possessions, only to find that the satisfaction is fleeting. In this episode of 'The Gathering with Roger B.', host Roger Bruner dives into the spiritual principles that can aid in addiction recovery.
With over 43 years of personal recovery experience, Roger brings a wealth of knowledge to the table, sharing his thoughts on why material things can't fulfill our deepest needs and how self-examination and honesty play crucial roles in the healing process. Roger starts by emphasizing that his aim isn't to dictate what listeners should do but to explore spiritual concepts that can guide them towards a better lifestyle.
He points out that traditional recovery methods often focus on the physical aspects of addiction, neglecting the spiritual void that many individuals try to fill with substances. This episode underscores that addiction is not just a physical ailment but a spiritual disease. One of the key takeaways from this discussion is the importance of honesty and self-examination. Roger explains that when individuals confront their addiction, they must recognize that it’s a symptom of deeper issues, not the root cause.
By examining their thoughts and actions, they can begin to understand the underlying problems and start the healing process. Roger also touches on how acting out of lower principles like dishonesty and hypocrisy can undermine personal relationships. In contrast, embracing higher principles such as forgiveness and understanding can foster deeper connections with others. This shift in behavior not only helps in recovery but also enriches personal relationships.
The episode wraps up with a powerful reminder about the roles of gratitude and love in addiction recovery. Roger emphasizes that these are actions, not just emotions. By practicing gratitude and forgiveness, individuals can cultivate a sense of contentment and peace that goes beyond material possessions. Whether you’re in recovery or simply seeking deeper spiritual insights, this episode offers valuable lessons on how to heal from within.
