If I don't seek, I'm not going to find it, you know, and so that's it... miracles happen.
Ever felt like running for the hills when someone mentioned God in a recovery meeting? Janice sure did. In this episode of 'Big Book Awakening', she opens up about her initial skepticism during her first Overeaters Anonymous (OA) meeting. The mention of God had her ready to bolt out the door. But a simple touch on the arm and a suggestion to 'use another word' changed everything.
Janice dives into her journey of grappling with addiction, battling doubts, and ultimately finding a spiritual awakening. She shares candidly about her experiences with prayer and meditation, and how these practices helped her build boundaries and mend relationships. Janice's story is a heartfelt reminder that recovery is not just about abstaining from harmful behaviors but also about finding faith and seeking guidance from others.
Her journey showcases the unexpected gifts that come with being open to help and practicing the principles of the Twelve Steps program. If you're looking for a story that blends raw honesty with hope, this episode is a must-listen.
