I found unity in early recovery, probably around the end of My First Year, and when I came into unity, as many folks have experienced, I really saw that it was a you know, look inside yourself, find the truth within.
Ever feel overwhelmed by the 'God talk' in recovery? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', hosts Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas dive into how to make peace with the concept of a higher power on your own terms. They understand that for many, old ideas about God can be a stumbling block. But here's the good news: you don't have to accept someone else's version of God.
Instead, you can discover a higher power that resonates with you personally. Rev. Dan and Rev. Michelle share their own journeys and how they found spiritual peace. They emphasize that the 12-step program is flexible when it comes to defining a higher power. It's all about finding what works for you. Whether you're agnostic, atheist, or just unsure, this episode offers practical advice and heartfelt stories to help you on your path.
The hosts also explore the benefits of having a devotional relationship with a higher power, even if your concept of God is more about principles than a person. They discuss the importance of holding your beliefs loosely, allowing them to grow and change as you do. As Rev.
Dan puts it, 'Whatever that concept of our higher power ends up being, it gives us something to let go into, something that's going to catch us into the mystery.'
So if you're struggling with the 'God thing' in your recovery journey, tune in to this episode for some compassionate guidance and inspiration. You'll learn that it's okay to question, explore, and ultimately find a spiritual path that feels right for you.
