I realized that I had an issue with God. I would pray, but I was pretty much agnostic, you know, I believed in some sense, but I'm not going to use this tool. It showed me how I had all this belief about god.
Faith can be a tricky thing, especially when it’s tangled up with family dynamics. In this heartfelt episode of the 'Big Book Awakening' podcast, Mer opens up about her journey to sobriety and how she redefined her relationship with God. Growing up in the Church, Mer initially believed her faith wasn't an issue. But as she faced the challenges of addiction, she realized her mistrust in God was deeply connected to her relationship with her father.
Through the Twelve Steps program, Mer found a way to rebuild her faith on her own terms. She shares how she moved from being practically agnostic to embracing a higher power that made sense to her. Her story highlights the importance of community support and personal growth in recovery. Mer’s candid reflections on prayer, belief, and trust provide a relatable and inspiring narrative for anyone grappling with similar struggles.
Listeners will find Mer’s story both touching and enlightening, as she discusses how choosing her own conception of God played a crucial role in overcoming addiction and self-reliance. Tune in to hear Mer’s powerful tale of hope, resilience, and spiritual awakening.
