Episode Overview
- Spiritual growth requires active participation.
- Prayer must be followed by concrete actions.
- Surround yourself with supportive individuals.
- Use breathwork to shift out of addictive frequencies.

Keep up and you'll be kept up - that's a paradoxical statement that holds the core of what we're discussing here.
This episode of 'In The Circle' is a deep dive into the sixth step of the 12-step recovery programme, featuring Bob, who has been sober for 20 years. Bob raises a poignant question: how does one become entirely ready to have God remove defects of character? Tommy Rosen, the host and an expert in addiction recovery, breaks down this complex process with clarity and compassion.
He emphasises that spiritual growth is not a passive act where some divine entity does all the work for you. Instead, it's about active participation and consistent effort. The conversation touches on the misconception that simply praying will bring about change without action. Tommy uses his own experiences and wisdom to explain that prayer must be followed by concrete steps—like making amends and continuous self-improvement.
He also discusses the importance of surrounding oneself with supportive people and practising techniques like breathwork to shift out of the 'frequency of addiction'. This episode is rich with practical advice and spiritual insights, making it a must-listen for anyone on the recovery journey or those supporting loved ones through it. If you're looking for a blend of heartfelt stories and actionable steps, this episode offers a wealth of both.
