From Religion to Spirituality: Gloria's Journey in Sobriety

I really think I was just stuck in purgatory for so many years...I am not going to go to bed tonight worrying about if I'm going to hell anymore.
Ever felt trapped by rigid religious beliefs while seeking recovery? In this episode of 'The Pink Cloud Podcast', Lisa and Gloria dive deep into the contrast between religion and spirituality within the 12-step program. Raised Catholic, Lisa once believed she was destined for hell. But through her recovery journey, she transitioned from strict religious views to embracing a personal, spiritual understanding of a higher power.
Gloria, on the other hand, shares how she now sees God in everything around her, finding peace and strength in surrendering to something greater than herself. They both highlight the gifts of sobriety that come from letting go and turning things over to a higher power. Meditation, mindfulness, and community support are also discussed as vital tools in their recovery.
Whether you're grappling with similar issues or looking for inspiration on your own path to sobriety, this episode offers heartfelt stories and practical advice.
