The core of our steps is meditation and prayer...this is the exact message that Ebi carries, because Roland works with Ebi, gets him on the road to recovery.
What if the key to overcoming addiction lies in a divine connection? In this episode, Father Bill W., an Episcopal priest and addiction treatment specialist, dives into the profound relationship between spirituality and recovery. Drawing from the book 'The War of the Gods in Addiction' by Jungian analyst David E. Schoen, Father Bill examines the pivotal letters exchanged between Bill Wilson, co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, and the famous psychologist Carl Jung.
These letters reveal how Jung's insights helped shape the spiritual foundation of AA. Father Bill also sheds light on the often-overlooked 11th Step practice of Two Way Prayer, a transformative tool for many in recovery. Through compelling stories and thoughtful analysis, he explores the critical role of hopelessness in the journey to sobriety and how a higher power can offer a way out. You'll also hear about Roland Hazard, a patient of Jung's whose experiences significantly influenced Wilson's recovery journey.
With a focus on the importance of community and helping others, this episode offers a rich tapestry of insights for anyone seeking to understand the spiritual dimensions of addiction recovery.
