Alcohol in Latin is spiritus, and you use the same word for the highest religious experiences as well as for the most depraving poison. The helpful formula, therefore, is spiritus Contra Spiritum.
What happens when the pioneering thoughts of Carl Jung meet the transformative journey of Alcoholics Anonymous? In this episode, Father Bill W. dives into Jung’s influential letter to Bill W., the co-founder of AA, to uncover the spiritual dimensions of addiction and recovery. Jung's idea of 'spiritus contra spiritum'—the spirit against the spirits—offers a profound perspective on overcoming alcohol dependency. Father Bill W.

If you’re curious about how deep-seated spiritual practices can help bridge the gap between isolation and connection, this episode is a must-listen. Father Bill W.
brings his decades of experience to the table, making complex ideas accessible and relevant to anyone on a recovery journey.
