The process of coming to believe restores us to sanity. The strength to move into action comes from this belief.
Ever felt like you're stuck in a never-ending loop of addiction? In this episode of 'Addiction Recovery - Living the Program', Roy Nichols takes a deep dive into Step Two of the Narcotics Anonymous Basic Text, Sixth Edition. Roy kicks things off with a reading from the text, shedding light on how this crucial step and its accompanying prayer can be a game-changer in the journey to sobriety.
The essence of Step Two is all about embracing the idea of a power greater than ourselves. Roy passionately explains that this power doesn't have to be a traditional deity; it could be anything from the group itself to the broader program, or even a personal conception of God. The key is to open your mind and heart to the possibility of something bigger than your individual struggles.
Roy underscores that many of us start our recovery journey without any connection to a higher power. But by admitting the possibility of such a power, we begin to see small miracles and coincidences in our lives. These experiences help us build trust and comfort in this newfound source of strength. Roy also highlights the importance of willingness, the third pillar of the HOW (Honest, Open-minded, Willing) approach.
He emphasizes that being willing to let a higher power work through us is essential for overcoming addiction and becoming more productive members of society. Recovery, Roy reminds us, isn't a solo mission. Isolation and loneliness are counterproductive. Instead, it's about building connections and finding strength in community and spirituality. This episode offers a heartfelt message of hope and practical advice for anyone on the path to recovery.
Tune in to hear Roy's insights and discover how Step Two and prayer can help you regain sanity and find peace.
