Facing Loneliness in Recovery: Insights from Father Bill W.

Loneliness is really where we wind up... Being a wise young man, he got off his horse and sat down. In fact, the king spent almost all his time arranging things so the queen would not see water and he did little else.
Ever felt that gnawing sense of loneliness during your recovery journey? Father Bill W., an Episcopal priest who's been sober since 1972, tackles this exact issue in his latest episode. Drawing from Robert Johnson’s 'Inner Gold: Understanding Psychological Projection', Father Bill explores loneliness through three unique lenses: longing for the past, yearning for what’s yet to come, and the profound loneliness of feeling close to God.
He shares his own struggles with loneliness, highlighting it as one of the toughest challenges in recovery. Yet, he offers a surprising solution: solitude. Through solitude, we can find a deeper connection with ourselves and, ultimately, with our spirituality. Father Bill also weaves in rich metaphors and myths, like the story of the king and his frog queen, and the elusive deer from Indian mythology, to illustrate transformation and redemption.
This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone grappling with loneliness on their path to sobriety.
