Living with the effects of another's alcoholism has given us a lopsided view of life. And so when I'm trying to spin things and twist them and create a different reality where he sees me in the light that he wants me to be, you know it's not being true to myself, and it's also taking my focus away from other things that are important to me and help me be functional.
Imagine grappling with the chaos of a loved one's addiction and finding a way to restore your sanity. In this episode, hosts Kelli, Swetha, and Spencer dive into Step 2 of the Al-Anon 12-step recovery process: 'Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity'. Spencer shares his evolving journey through the step, starting from just 'coming' to meetings, gradually 'coming to' an understanding, and eventually 'coming to believe' in a higher power.
Swetha opens up about her own path, discussing the ease she found in accepting a power greater than herself. The trio tackles the challenges many face in defining this higher power and how embracing spirituality can aid in recovery. They also emphasize the significance of acceptance, surrender, and the sense of community that Al-Anon fosters. With their honest and heartfelt stories, this episode offers a beacon of hope for anyone affected by addiction.
Whether you're new to Al-Anon or a seasoned member, you'll find relatable insights and practical advice that can help transform your journey. Tune in for an engaging discussion that highlights the healing power of belief and community.
