When I am in that conscious contact with god and I'm attempting to do the next right thing, my life flows, and it flows in a different way when I try to do it my own way.
What happens when you blend prayer, meditation, and the journey of addiction recovery? In this episode of '11th Hour Addiction Recovery', hosts Pat and Adam open up about their evolving relationships with God and the transformative power of spiritual practices in their lives. They share candid stories about how prayer and meditation have become cornerstones in their recovery, offering a lifeline during challenging times.

From the initial discomfort of meditation to the struggle of quieting a busy mind, they lay it all out. Their honest reflections provide a comforting reminder that these challenges are a common part of the process. One of the key themes in this episode is the importance of the 12-step program in fostering spiritual growth and self-awareness. The hosts tackle common misconceptions about spirituality in recovery, addressing how these misunderstandings can sometimes act as barriers.
They emphasize that spirituality isn't a one-size-fits-all concept but rather a deeply personal journey. Listeners will also hear about the significance of accepting 'no' as an answer, trusting that it often serves as protection. Pat and Adam highlight the necessity of continuous growth and self-compassion, stressing that recovery is an ongoing process that requires patience and kindness towards oneself. Another powerful takeaway is the healing potential of helping others.
The hosts discuss how acts of service have not only aided their own recovery but also provided a sense of purpose and connection. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how spiritual practices can enrich one's path to sobriety, offering hope and practical insights for anyone on a similar journey.
