Finding Faith in Recovery: Higher Power and Spirituality Unpacked

Recognize your part in things and understand, you know it helps clean out resentments and helps you from holding resentments, because resentments are the other big thing that you know. Just that there's power in this group that has the power to help you get sober.
What role does spirituality play in recovery? Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara tackle this compelling question in an episode of 'Recovery Rocks' that’s both thought-provoking and relatable. Lisa, a seasoned 12-step advocate, shares how embracing a Higher Power helped her let go of resentments and find sobriety. She explains that it’s not about religion but recognizing that you're not the center of the universe. It's about acknowledging something greater that can help you through life's challenges.
On the flip side, Tawny opens up about her ongoing spiritual skepticism. Four years into her sobriety journey, she still grapples with the concept of a Higher Power. Instead, she finds comfort in meditation and staying present, emphasizing that spirituality doesn't have to fit into a traditional mold. Despite their differing views, Lisa and Tawny find common ground in the power of group support.
They discuss how being part of a community can be transformative, helping individuals recognize their role in their own recovery. The episode also touches on misconceptions about recovery often portrayed in the media, debunking the myth that it's all about church basements and prayer. Lisa and Tawny stress that recovery is a personal journey with multiple paths to success. Whether you’re spiritually inclined or a skeptic, this episode offers valuable insights and support.
Tune in for an honest conversation that might just change your perspective on spirituality in recovery.
