Spirituality enables us to be at peace with God, with other people, and with ourselves.
What if spirituality could be the missing piece in your recovery journey? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Recovery Road', Rabbi and psychiatrist Abraham Twerski shares his unique perspective on how spirituality influences emotional health and sobriety. Drawing from his book *The Spiritual Self: Reflections on Recovery and God*, Twerski delves into the role of ego in Twelve Step recovery and offers practical advice on finding a balanced path to worship.
He emphasizes the pitfalls of egocentricity, explaining how it can lead to endless dissatisfaction and stress. But it’s not all doom and gloom; Twerski also highlights the benefits of healthy dependency, suggesting that a well-rounded spiritual life can bring peace and purpose. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of how spirituality can harmonize our relationships with ourselves, others, and a higher power.
Whether you're new to recovery or a seasoned veteran, Twerski's insights offer valuable guidance for navigating the complexities of sobriety with grace.
