Jojo B's Recovery Journey: Embracing the Set Aside Prayer
Before recovery, a little background about me is that I grew up in the church and I grew up in a religious family. And so, as I began to take the faith of the church and or of my parents or my grandparents and what I saw around me, I started, you know, to as I was, I would say, in my teens.
Picture yourself trying to unlearn everything you thought you knew about life and faith. That's exactly what Jojo B went through, and she shares her eye-opening journey in this episode of 'Ashes To Rubies: Addiction To Connection'. Growing up in a religious family, Jojo struggled with breaking down mental barriers and preconceived notions. The set aside prayer, a cornerstone from the AA Big Book, became her guiding light.
This prayer isn't just about words; it's about setting aside old beliefs to make room for new, transformative experiences. Jojo dives deep into how this prayer helped her simplify her life and focus on the basics. She talks candidly about the prejudices and stubbornness she had to overcome, and how she initially put God in a box, limiting her own spiritual growth.
By embracing the set aside prayer, she learned to trust in a higher power and live each day with an open mind. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to break free from the shackles of addiction and rediscover their faith and purpose. Jojo's story is not just inspiring; it's a testament to the power of letting go and starting anew. Tune in to hear how you can apply these lessons to your own recovery journey.
