Ever wondered how prayer can support your recovery journey? Spencer, a seasoned member of Al-Anon, takes you through his personal evolution with prayer in this episode. Growing up without a tradition of prayer, Spencer's early attempts were as simple as 'God, please give me a pony'. Spoiler alert: it didn't work! Fast forward to today, and prayer has become a cornerstone of his daily routine and recovery process.
He candidly shares his initial skepticism and how he gradually embraced different forms of prayer like the Serenity Prayer, the Third Step Prayer, and gratitude prayers. Each type of prayer has offered him a unique way to find peace and clarity amid the chaos of loving someone with an addiction. Spencer also dives into his morning ritual, which includes prayers for grace and harmony with others.
He sees prayer as a way to express love not just for the universe but for the people around him. This episode isn't just about Spencer's journey; it's an invitation for you to reflect on your own experiences with prayer and how it might support your recovery. Whether you're new to the concept or a seasoned practitioner, you'll find valuable insights and practical advice here.
