For me, when I listened to how it works, it makes it seem as if there's a kind of negative judgment or blame.
Ever pondered the real meaning behind 'higher powers' in the journey to sobriety? In this thought-provoking episode of 'The One Day at a Time Recovery Podcast', host Arlina Allen chats with Peg O'Connor, author of 'Higher and Friendly Powers-Transforming Addiction and Suffering'. Peg, who has been sober for an impressive 34 years, brings her rich background as a philosophy professor and contributor to Psychology Today into the conversation.
They dive deep into the concept of higher powers, unraveling its origins and exploring how it can be a pivotal part of recovery. Peg’s goal is to help people move past limiting beliefs that might hinder their recovery, much like the aim of the 12 Step program that Arlina passionately supports. If you’ve ever felt skeptical about the spiritual aspects of recovery, Peg’s insights might just change your perspective.
She emphasizes the importance of defining your own spiritual experiences and steering clear of moral and political judgments. They also touch on the role of self-examination, self-care, and the impact of trauma on addiction. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone on their path to sobriety or supporting someone who is. It’s not just about staying sober; it’s about growing, changing, and finding a supportive community along the way.
