In this episode of The Gathering With Roger B., titled 'Everyday a Decision', Roger takes us on a journey through the importance of conscious decision-making in recovery. Drawing from his own humbling experience, Roger shares how an unexpected emotional eruption reminded him of the critical role of 'the pause' in making thoughtful choices. He reflects on the idea that every day is filled with decisions, some made out of fear and others from a place of powerlessness or higher order.
Roger emphasises the need to embrace the idea of being powerless over certain outcomes and how this realisation propels one towards a higher power, a key concept in the first three steps of recovery. The episode is a blend of personal anecdotes and spiritual insights, making it relatable and thought-provoking for anyone on their recovery journey.
Roger's candid sharing about his emotional triggers and the steps he takes to make amends and realign with his higher power offers a powerful reminder that recovery is a continuous process of growth and learning.

By practising these principles daily, Roger encourages you to choose the higher path, one of kindness, love, and empathy, even when faced with challenging situations. This episode is not just about making decisions but about making them from a place of spiritual grounding and self-awareness. Tune in to hear more about how you can apply these principles in your daily life and make each decision count towards your recovery and personal growth.
