My mission now is helping people in 12-Step Fellowships explore a deeper understanding of spiritual practice and how it connects us to the 'Great Reality' within. -Fr. Bill W.
What happens when a life of addiction meets the transformative power of spirituality? In this special episode, Father Bill W. opens up about his personal recovery journey, offering a heartfelt narrative that spans decades. Having been sober since 1972, Father Bill shares the profound impact of the 11th Step practice of Two Way Prayer on his sobriety. This practice, which was once a cornerstone of Alcoholics Anonymous but later faded from focus, brought a significant change to his recovery program.
Father Bill reflects on the importance of morning meditation and his devotion to the blood of Christ, weaving these elements into his daily routine to maintain his spiritual and mental well-being. He also touches on the spiritual axiom of being disturbed, a concept that has helped him navigate life's challenges with grace and resilience. This episode is dedicated to the memory of Mike McK., the founder of RecoveryTapers, who would have celebrated his 19th recovery anniversary.
Mike played a pivotal role in introducing thousands to the practice of Two Way Prayer through numerous workshops during the pandemic. Father Bill's tribute to Mike underscores the enduring impact of community and shared experiences in the journey toward sobriety. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the intersection of spirituality and addiction, this episode offers a unique blend of personal anecdotes and spiritual insights.
Father Bill's story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding a deeper connection to oneself and a higher power.
