Pain is caused because we deny, because we resist. But as far as that kind of spiritual awakening, that post-surrender benefit that I'm going to get in recovery, it's going to be allow, allow, the joy experience, my joy experience, that sense that I am not the one in control, whatever that is.
Ever wondered how facing two monumental challenges can shape a person’s spirit? Meet Tonia N., a member of Narcotics Anonymous who began her recovery journey in Greece. In this episode, Tonia opens up about her path to sobriety and the unexpected twist of battling cancer. With an unfiltered honesty, she dives into how the principles of NA and the 12 steps provided her with the strength to confront both addiction and illness.
Tonia's story isn't just about overcoming; it's about the rebirth of spirit and the power of surrender. She shares the growth and evolution of the NA community in Greece, emphasizing the critical role of connection and support in recovery. One of the standout moments is Tonia's reflection on pain, resistance, and acceptance. She believes that embracing pain rather than resisting it can lead to profound personal growth.
Her insights into transformational versus incremental growth offer a fresh perspective on life's challenges. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of resilience, community, and the enduring wisdom of the 12 steps. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in stories of human strength, Tonia's journey will leave you inspired.
