So happiness is interrelated to circumstances and me as an alcoholic, even as I recover, I begin to feel this and I go like this: this is black and this is white. And all of a sudden, then, what begins to happen is this: it doesn't matter what happens in my life. If I have a dollar in the bank, I still have joy. It doesn't so much that I read the literature that helps all of it. I'm not going to thank god for having surgery on Wednesday, but I'm going to ask him to help me to go through the whole process of having a good attitude with everybody, from my wife to my daughter and everybody else, basically.
Imagine grappling with the difference between happiness and joy for years. That's exactly what Jose G. faced until his journey through sobriety led him to a profound realization. In this episode of Big Book Awakening, Jose shares his story of recovery and spiritual growth with host EastlakeBBA. He dives into how the Twelve Steps program not only helped him overcome addiction but also brought true joy into his life.
Jose opens up about the pivotal moments that made him understand the essence of joy, which he believes stems from a higher power. He emphasizes that while happiness can be fleeting and dependent on external factors, joy is deeply rooted in spirituality and faith. One of his key messages is the transformative power of surrendering to a higher power and trusting the recovery process. Community plays a significant role in Jose's story.
He discusses how being part of a supportive group has been essential in his journey, offering him strength and a sense of belonging. Gratitude and mindfulness also come up as crucial elements in maintaining a joyful life. If you're struggling with addiction or feeling lost, Jose's insights offer a beacon of hope. His story is a testament to the power of faith, community, and the Twelve Steps program in finding lasting joy and freedom.
