How does philosophy intersect with the journey of addiction recovery? In this episode, Andrew J. Schreier sits down with Dr. Peg O’Connor to unpack the concept of a higher power and its role in transforming lives affected by addiction. If you’ve ever wondered how abstract ideas can have real-world impacts, this conversation is for you. Dr. O’Connor, an accomplished author and philosopher, delves into how philosophical principles can guide individuals towards meaningful change and recovery.
The episode sheds light on how the notion of a higher power, often emphasized in support groups, can be a pivotal element in overcoming substance dependence. This isn't just another academic discussion; it's a heartfelt dialogue filled with practical insights and philosophical musings that make you rethink the path to recovery. Whether you're grappling with addiction yourself, supporting a loved one, or working in the mental health field, this episode offers valuable perspectives that are both thought-provoking and deeply personal.
