Jen R. on Finding Comfort in Spirituality During Recovery
For people that are listening, that don't have a higher power or don't want one- that's the whole point of this thing- is to help you find one that works for you, and I've never seen it not work if you're willing...
How do you find comfort when you're feeling lost and confused? Jen R. from Ashburn, VA, shares her heartfelt journey on the Daily Reflection Podcast, offering a unique perspective on spirituality in recovery. In this episode titled 'Solace for Confusion', Jen opens up about her early struggles with the concept of God and how those past images were clouded with fear and rejection. However, a simple story from a friend helped her reframe her understanding of a higher power.
Imagine being a child responsible for a litter of puppies, dealing with their messes every morning but never getting angry because that's just their nature. Jen found solace in this idea, seeing her higher power as someone who views human flaws with the same understanding and warmth. Through her candid experiences with alcoholism and recovery, Jen highlights the transformative power of working the steps, the invaluable support of community, and the importance of helping others to maintain sobriety.
Her story is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with spirituality in their recovery journey. Tune in to hear Jen's inspiring tales of finding a higher power that works for her and discover how you too can find comfort and healing.
