I need a god so big that I can't figure it out.
What happens when desperation leads you to surrender? Bart Ross, the Recovery & Alumni Services Coordinator on the Florida campuses, opens up about his life-changing journey on this episode of 'Something More'. Born in Queens, New York, Bart grew up with a strong work ethic instilled by his father. Yet, he struggled to fit in and eventually turned to alcohol.
His story takes a pivotal turn when he enters a 12-step program and finds himself surrendering to God out of sheer desperation. This act of faith becomes his anchor, helping him navigate the choppy waters of addiction and social anxiety. Bart talks about how he leans on his relationship with God daily, especially during uncomfortable or anxious moments. He emphasizes the importance of having a higher power so vast that it surpasses human understanding.
If you're seeking inspiration or a deeper connection in your recovery journey, Bart's story offers a compelling testament to the transformative power of faith.
