Often the big aha that we're trying to help people realize is that I don't know how to solve my own problem. And then you must find all power, and that one is God, may you find him now.
Have you ever wondered how spirituality can aid in overcoming addiction? In this thought-provoking episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', guest host Gordon Woods chats with Rev. Jack Abel, the founder and president of Spiritual Care Addiction Treatment Professionals. Abel dives deep into how spirituality can help individuals, especially high-functioning professionals, reconnect with their inner selves and find meaning in life.
He explains that many people become 'intellectually defended', relying more on their skills and less on their spiritual side, leading to a sense of disconnection over time. This episode sheds light on how reclaiming spirituality can be a transformative tool in the healing and recovery process. From discussing the importance of ancient wisdom to the role of willpower and the progressive nature of recovery, Abel offers valuable insights and practical advice.
He likens the spiritual journey to an epic quest, full of challenges but ultimately rewarding. Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode provides a beacon of hope and a reminder that recovery is within reach.
