I remember the first time I went to inpatient treatment when I was. We agnostics tells us why god is necessary for the process, because we cannot relieve our own drink obsession- and that's a conclusion that we have to get to in the first step- that we can't relieve our own drink obsession, that we are beyond human aid.
What happens when you realize you can't tackle addiction alone? In this episode of 'A Sobering Thought', Paul returns to share his experience with steps two and three of the 12-step program. Paul opens up about the pivotal moment he accepted that a power greater than himself could restore his sanity. This isn't about religious dogma; it's about finding a guiding force, whatever that might be for you, to help navigate the tumultuous waters of recovery.
Step three, which involves turning your will and life over to this higher power, demands a leap of faith and trust that can be daunting yet liberating. Paul’s story highlights the transformative power of these steps, emphasizing that recovery isn't a solo journey. He delves into the necessity of honesty, especially when tackling step four, where you confront your deepest fears and truths.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that surrendering control and trusting in something bigger than yourself can lead to peace and serenity on the road to recovery. If you're grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, Paul's insights offer hope and practical wisdom.
