Rees's Journey: Finding Peace Through Meditation and Recovery

I finally, after More Than Years of being around the steps, got to that place of finding my higher power.
Imagine struggling with addiction from a young age and feeling lost in traditional recovery methods. This is Rees's story, shared in this episode of 'Progressive Recovery'. After hitting rock bottom, Rees found himself in a facility that opened his eyes to the multifaceted nature of addiction—physical, mental, and spiritual. Despite achieving sobriety, he wrestled with his relationship with God and felt out of place in conventional religious settings.
It wasn't until he stumbled upon meditation and contemplative practices that things began to change. Through Buddhist teachings, Rees discovered a way to connect his head to his heart, finding a higher power that resonated with him. His journey highlights the importance of personalizing recovery practices to achieve true emotional sobriety.
This episode is a beacon for anyone who feels disconnected from traditional recovery paths, offering insights into how meditation and self-discovery can pave the way for lasting sobriety and inner peace.
