Your experiences and awakenings may look a little different, but that if you're going to say I don't need to have a spiritual connection at all and you have contempt prior to actually looking into this thing, it's going to be sad for you.
Ever wondered what sets a spiritual experience apart from a spiritual awakening? This episode of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio' dives into this intriguing question. Hosted by Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, and his co-hosts, the show starts with a humorous chat about Walmart's new shopping bag policy. But don't let the light-hearted banter fool you; the conversation soon shifts to more profound topics that matter deeply to those on the path to recovery.
The hosts break down the nuances between a spiritual experience and a spiritual awakening, sharing personal stories that bring these concepts to life. They draw from the works of William James to provide a deeper understanding and discuss how these spiritual transformations can significantly impact one's journey to sobriety. You'll also hear about the different forms of personality changes that come with recovery and why holding onto contempt towards spirituality might be holding you back.
As always, the episode wraps up with the popular 'ask it basket' segment, where listener questions on recovery are answered with honesty and empathy. Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this journey for a while, this episode offers valuable insights and relatable stories that could make all the difference.
