We are not a glum lot!
Imagine stepping into a 12-Step Fellowship as a young person. It's a world that can feel daunting and isolating, but it doesn't have to be. In this episode, Father Bill W. sits down with Kirk Campbell, the Director of Cornerstone Team Counseling in Houston, Texas, to shine a light on the unique hurdles young people face in recovery. Kirk, with his wealth of experience, brings an optimistic perspective, reminding us that 'We are not a glum lot!'.
The conversation takes us through the innovative concept of Alternative Peer Groups (APGs), which are now hailed as a best practice in adolescent recovery. These groups provide a supportive community where young people can find camaraderie and understanding among peers who are also navigating their sobriety journey. It's more than just meetings; it's about creating an environment filled with engaging activities that keep the spirit of recovery alive and kicking.
Father Bill and Kirk also delve into the transformative power of spiritual practices, particularly the Two Way Prayer, and how these practices can help young people find a deeper sense of purpose and connection. They explore the integral role of the 12-Step program in fostering spiritual growth and how parents can play a pivotal role in supporting their children through recovery. A standout theme in their discussion is the importance of service in recovery.
Giving back to the community not only helps maintain sobriety but also strengthens the bonds within the recovery network. This episode is packed with practical insights and uplifting stories that highlight the resilience and potential of young people in recovery. Whether you're a young person on your own recovery journey, a parent seeking guidance, or someone interested in the evolving landscape of addiction treatment, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge and hope.
Tune in to discover how Alternative Peer Groups and spiritual practices are making a difference in the lives of young people striving for sobriety.
