Nina's Path to Surrender: Finding Strength in Vulnerability on Cross Talk
I put my arm around her and she started peeing. She didn't even notice she was peeing in her pants. So if I admit, I have to be aware, to admit that I'm powerless if I don't have awareness, I have no ability to know that that's happening, you know, and that my life has become unmanageable.
What happens when you realize that having everything means nothing if you don't have yourself? In this episode of 'Cross Talk', hosts Corey and Claire sit down with Nina to discuss the powerful journey of surrendering control and embracing a higher power. Nina opens up about her experiences in Al-Anon recovery, highlighting how self-awareness and vulnerability have played crucial roles in her growth.
She talks candidly about the struggle of overcoming self-sabotage and the significance of the 3rd Step Prayer, which she describes as a way to entrust your will and life to the care of a higher power. This episode is a deep dive into the importance of admitting powerlessness, setting boundaries, and recognizing that sensitivity can be an intuition rather than a weakness.
Corey and Claire add their perspectives, noting that surrendering control isn't about giving up agency but about acknowledging what lies beyond our control and working with it. Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this path for a while, Nina's insights offer a refreshing perspective on personal growth and humility.
As she beautifully puts it, 'the journey is never over, but it's worth it.' Tune in for an inspiring conversation that might just change how you view your own recovery journey.
