Believe me, I'm speaking because I'm speaking out of my experience of being around people like that. And it's because people feel like- you know, I, somebody, somebody put me in this corner- I'm a fractured self.
How do members of the LGBTQ+ community navigate the unique challenges they face in addiction recovery? In this engaging episode, Father Bill W. continues his conversation with Paul S., the insightful author of 'Paths to Recovery for Gay and Bisexual Drug Addicts'. Paul brings decades of experience in 12-Step recovery and counseling to the table, shedding light on the often-overlooked struggles faced by gay and bisexual individuals in their journey to sobriety.
The discussion dives into the over-representation of LGBTQ+ folks in recovery groups, the prevalence of alcoholism, and the critical need for inclusivity within these support systems. Father Bill and Paul also explore the profound benefits of Two Way Prayer, a spiritual practice that has transformed many lives, including their own. This episode doesn't shy away from tough topics like PTSD in veterans and trauma survivors, drawing meaningful connections to the experiences of those recovering from sexual abuse.
Wrapping up with a thought-provoking look at the book of Job and its reflections on suffering and divine justice, this episode is a heartfelt and enlightening listen for anyone interested in the intersection of spirituality and recovery. Whether you're part of the LGBTQ+ community or an ally, you'll find valuable insights and a sense of hope in this conversation.
