One Year of Atheists in Recovery: Celebrating Growth and Embracing Pause

Everyone believes in something, that is what I talk about most in recovery.
Ever wondered how a podcast can evolve over a year? In this episode of 'Atheists in Recovery', Dr. Adina Silvestri takes a reflective journey through the podcast's first year. She opens up about the importance of the August pause, a time dedicated to self-care and recharging, emphasizing that even those helping others need to take a step back sometimes. Dr. Silvestri delves into how this break is essential for maintaining the quality and sustainability of her work.
She encourages listeners to engage in activities that nourish their souls, whether it's reading, writing, or listening to enriching content. Reflecting on the podcast's title, Dr. Silvestri addresses the common misconception that it solely focuses on atheism. Instead, she explains how the podcast explores spirituality and the concept of a higher power in recovery, offering a more inclusive perspective that resonates with many.
She shares insights on the role of the future self in recovery, discussing how separating from one's ego can lead to significant personal growth. Adding a touch of poetic reflection, Dr. Silvestri reads 'A Hole in The Soul' by William Cope Moyers, highlighting the deep sense of emptiness many in recovery feel and the crucial role of community and support.
Looking ahead, she teases exciting plans for Year Two, including creative guests and new ideas to keep the content fresh and inspiring. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of spirituality and recovery, or those seeking a thoughtful pause to reflect on their journey.
