We're talking about being liberated from the slavery which is our addiction... This is what creates the need to escape or the need to drink myself into a coma.
What does freedom truly mean? In this thought-provoking episode of The Gathering Podcast, Roger B, a seasoned spiritual director with over four decades of recovery experience, tackles the concept of 'freedom from self'. Roger's wisdom is a beacon for anyone grappling with addiction or seeking deeper spiritual growth. He argues that addiction is more than a physical dependency; it's a form of slavery to a false self, a persona built on misguided beliefs and perceptions.
These false beliefs create a 'soul sickness', leading us to numb our pain through addictive behaviors like drinking or drug use. Roger opens up about his own journey, sharing candid stories and lessons learned. He emphasizes that true freedom comes from identifying and addressing the character flaws that keep us trapped. Criticism and fear are just a couple of the defects Roger highlights as contributors to addictive behavior. But there's hope.
Roger passionately discusses how spirituality can serve as a powerful tool in recovery. By connecting with a higher power and embracing our true selves, we can find peace and break free from the chains of addiction. The importance of community and service in this journey can't be overstated, according to Roger. These elements help us stay grounded and connected, making the path to recovery a shared experience rather than a solitary struggle.
Tune in to hear Roger's invaluable insights and practical advice. Whether you're in recovery or simply on a quest for spiritual growth, this episode offers a message of hope and healing that's hard to ignore.
