Finding Peace Through Service: Charles P.'s Journey on Spirit of Recovery

I have a god-shaped hole in me and I kept trying to fill it with my porn booze into it, and that's not a good solution.
Imagine growing up in a home where violence and alcohol were constant companions. That was the reality for Charles P., the special guest in this episode of 'Spirit of Recovery'. Hosts Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas sit down with Charles to discuss how he transformed his life from chaos to peace through the power of service and spirituality. Despite a strong church background, Charles struggled with his own addiction for years.
It wasn't until he embraced the principles of the 12-step recovery program and found solace in the Unity church community that he began to heal. Charles shares how serving others became a cornerstone of his recovery, offering him a sense of purpose and connection that he had long been missing. He opens up about the importance of honesty, self-reflection, and meditation in his journey, providing practical advice for anyone facing similar struggles.
The episode also touches on the profound impact of childhood experiences on addiction and the intertwined relationship between spirituality and mental health. Charles's story is one of resilience and hope, demonstrating that even in the darkest times, there is a path to peace and happiness. Whether you're in recovery, supporting a loved one, or simply interested in the role of spirituality in overcoming addiction, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration.
Tune in to hear how service can be a powerful tool in reclaiming your life and finding your true self.
