Debating Higher Power: A Journey Through Belief and Skepticism

So say you're struggling with delusions, right, and maybe some hallucinations, and somebody puts a ham and cheese sandwich in front of you and you're starving, but in your delusions and hallucinations you don't see it or believe it's there, like you.
What does a higher power mean in the world of recovery? Episode 66 of 'Recovery (Sort Of) - The Podcast' dives into this complex question. Hosts Billy and Jason, who identify as agnostic or atheist, tackle the concept of a higher power with openness and honesty. They start by sharing things they've heard in recovery meetings that they don't quite believe, which leads them into a spirited debate about their own beliefs and experiences with spirituality.
Billy questions the traditional idea of a god, while Jason talks about his belief in a universal energy—think less 'magic man in the sky' and more 'cosmic force'. Their conversation covers the challenges of accepting a higher power, the role of community in recovery, and how hard experiences can lead to personal growth. They also discuss the importance of surrounding oneself with supportive people and living authentically.
Whether you're grappling with your own beliefs or simply curious about different perspectives, this episode offers a thoughtful and engaging exploration of spirituality in recovery.
