Building Your God Squad: The Power of Fellowship in Recovery
They talk about a life beyond your wildest dreams. They talk about whatever, but it's like, yes, it's going to mean working the steps and whatever, but it's this corrective healing experience and the opportunity that is there for you.
Imagine finding strength in a circle of trusted friends who understand your journey. In this episode of the Recovery Crone Podcast, the host dives deep into the importance of fellowship and intimate connections in the path to recovery. Drawing from her own life, she shares candid stories about growing up with narcissistic parents and how it shaped her ability to trust and connect with others.
Through her experiences, she highlights the transformative power of creating 'God Squads'—close-knit groups that provide unwavering support and spiritual grounding. You'll hear about Julie P, her current sponsor, and Vikki A, her former one. The episode also touches on the kindness of Betty Mae and Pop, her best friend's parents, who offered a safe haven during tough times. And then there's Selah, her therapist, who provided free sessions when she was unemployed for nearly three years.
These relationships, she explains, were crucial in her healing journey. The host doesn't just talk about recovery; she lives it. She emphasizes that spirituality plays a vital role in maintaining sobriety and fostering emotional growth. By investing in these close relationships, she found a way to heal that went beyond traditional recovery steps. This episode is perfect for anyone seeking deeper connections and understanding the role of fellowship in overcoming addiction.
It's a heartfelt reminder that we don't have to walk this path alone.
