Finding Purpose in Sobriety: The Lost Art of Two Way Prayer
“He who has a why to live for can bear almost anyhow. No matter how bad it gets, if you have meaning and purpose in your life, in your sobriety, in your recovery, things can get pretty tough, but they're not going to knock you down.”
Father Bill W., an Episcopal priest and seasoned recovery guide, takes you on a journey into the often overlooked spiritual roots of Alcoholics Anonymous. In this episode, he sheds light on the lost 11th Step practice known as Two Way Prayer. This ancient method isn't just about prayer; it's about creating a dialogue with a higher power to find deeper meaning and purpose in your recovery journey.
Father Bill warns against the dangers of going through the motions with mechanical steps, urging listeners to dig deeper and truly connect with their spiritual side. He discusses how surrendering the ego and aligning with what he calls 'God's plan' can be transformative. The episode also touches on the history of the Oxford Group and its influence on AA, making it a rich tapestry of historical context and practical advice.
If you're looking for more than just surface-level sobriety and want to explore the profound spiritual dimensions of recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
