When I do that, my Higher Power relieves me of my lack of choice — and keeps me sober one more day.
Imagine waking up every day feeling like you have no control over your actions. For many struggling with alcohol addiction, this is a harsh reality. In this episode of the Daily Reflection Podcast, host Michael L. dives into the concept of powerlessness in addiction and how embracing a higher power can bring hope and stability to one's life. Michael opens up about his own journey, revealing how he once believed sheer willpower could conquer his addiction.
However, he soon realized that his ability to choose was practically nonexistent when it came to alcohol. This episode isn't just about Michael's story; it's about the universal struggle many face in recovery. The idea of using spiritual tools to regain control is central here. Michael talks about how turning to a higher power, or God, helped him stay sober, one day at a time.
He makes it clear that this higher power doesn't have to fit any specific mold—it can be whatever brings you peace and strength. This episode is perfect for anyone grappling with the feeling of powerlessness and looking for ways to reclaim their lives. Whether you're new to sobriety or have been on this path for years, Michael's insights offer a fresh perspective on finding hope through spiritual connection.
