It is going back to basics, really um, getting, uh, rid of the old beliefs, which was in my case. I'm going back, um, carrying the message to another alcoholic.
What happens when the path to sobriety intersects with deep-rooted faith? In this episode, Father Bill W. sits down with Sinan K. from Istanbul, Turkey, to uncover just that. Sinan, who grew up in the Muslim faith, shares his unique journey of recovery through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Discover how the concept of 'surrender' in Islam opened the door to Step One of AA for him, leading to a profound spiritual awakening.
This conversation dives into the mystical dimensions of Sufism and how it enriched Sinan's recovery experience. Father Bill and Sinan explore the transformative power of the 12-Step program and the often-overlooked 11th Step practice of Two Way Prayer. They discuss breaking old beliefs and connecting with a higher power to find true spiritual connection. This episode is a lively exchange filled with insights and a message of hope for anyone on the path to recovery.
Whether you're curious about the intersection of faith and sobriety or seeking inspiration for your own journey, this discussion offers a fresh perspective on finding spiritual growth through recovery.
