Finding Strength: The Role of Community and Higher Power in Recovery
With an illness that is focused within the mind, you don't want to have just your one mind to work on the issue.
Imagine trying to climb a mountain alone, without any gear or guidance. That's what addiction recovery can feel like without support. In this episode of 'Courage Recovery', Roger L'Hereault dives into why joining fellowships like Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous can make all the difference. He highlights how these communities offer not just companionship, but also accountability and a much-needed reality check on the journey to sobriety. But it doesn't stop there.
Roger also tackles the concept of a higher power, often misunderstood as strictly religious. He breaks it down, showing that a higher power can be anything that helps you tap into deeper wisdom and spirituality, whether it's nature, the universe, or even the collective strength of the fellowship itself. This episode is a treasure trove for anyone looking to understand how community and spirituality can fill the void left by addiction and provide daily reminders of humility.
If you're on the path to recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers invaluable insights and practical advice to help you along the way.
