I realized that all of my teaching I'd had to that point in Christianity was lacking something, and I did not know what that was because when I came in, there were folks that were getting recovery that did not qualify for recovery.
What do you do when your faith feels incomplete? Buddy C. faced this very question and found his answer in an unexpected place—the Tao Te Ching. In this episode of 'Recovery Is Possible', host Michael Van Meter sits down with Buddy to explore his remarkable journey to sobriety. Buddy's story is not just about quitting alcohol; it's about finding a new way to live through ancient wisdom.
He turned to the Tao Te Ching, a collection of Chinese verses, to guide him toward a life free from addictive behaviors. Along the way, Buddy faced significant personal losses but remained steadfast in his sobriety, proving that recovery is achievable even in the darkest times. He also authored 'Powerless but Not Helpless', a meditation book that distills the essence of the Tao Te Ching into 81 verses to aid others on their recovery journeys.
This episode offers a unique blend of spirituality and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking a holistic approach to sobriety. Tune in to hear how community support and spiritual growth can pave the way for a life free from addiction.
