I think that the very first one was that there is goodness and that that's where I'm going: a sense of direction. I want to go in the direction of that goodness and I want that goodness to manifest in my life, and I believe that it will.
Ever felt like life was a never-ending soap opera, with drama lurking around every corner? In this episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', hosts Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas welcome a special guest who opens up about her tumultuous journey from emotional chaos to finding a faith that truly resonates with her. Raised in a family where alcoholism was a shadow, she found herself addicted to drama and emotional entanglement, feeling like a victim when life threw unexpected curveballs.
Her story is one of raw honesty. She shares how she had to 'fire' her old concept of God, which no longer served her, and how this radical step led her to discover a new faith that helped her reclaim her personal power. One poignant moment she recounts is ignoring her inner voice and saying 'yes' to marrying her first husband, despite every instinct telling her otherwise.
This episode dives deep into the importance of listening to oneself and recognizing the internal cues that guide us. Codependency and its crazy-making effects are also on the table. The guest speaks candidly about how she got caught in the web of emotional enmeshment and how it affected her decision-making and relationships.
The power of community in recovery is another highlight, as she explains how attending meetings and hearing others' stories of strength and hope pulled her out of the abyss. Spirituality plays a significant role in her recovery journey. By applying spiritual principles to her 12-step process, she found a way to overcome codependency and regain control over her life.
The episode wraps up on an inspiring note with the guest sharing her evolving beliefs and values, emphasizing the joy and growth that come from saying 'yes' to change. Her powerful closing thought? 'I want to go in the direction of goodness and believe that it will manifest in my life.'
Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that offers hope, practical insights, and a reminder that reclaiming personal power is possible, even from the depths of drama addiction.
