The gift of desperation opens one up to the cosmos and invites it in, because we have no other choice.
What happens when spirituality and religion intersect with the journey of recovery? Father Bill W., an Episcopal priest who has been sober since 1972, dives into this very topic. With decades of experience in addiction treatment and 12-Step spirituality, he offers a unique perspective on how these elements play a crucial role in sobriety. In this episode, Father Bill opens up about his personal struggles and resolutions, setting the groundwork for future discussions with other spiritual seekers.
He sheds light on the often-overlooked 11th Step practice of Two Way Prayer, a transformative tool that helped him connect with the 'Great Reality' within. Father Bill also touches on AA's historical impact, the power of fellowship, and the importance of personal transformation. His approach to interpreting faith stories metaphorically adds another layer of depth, making this episode a must-listen for anyone curious about the spiritual dimensions of recovery.
Tune in to discover how desperation can be a gateway to cosmic connection.
