Finding Faith: The Journey of Step 2 in Recovery
Everything that you'll ever need for the rest of your life is in step two: there's the power.
Ever wondered how faith can play a role in addiction recovery? In this episode of 'SOBER: The Podcast', Bradley Saxon and CJ take a deep dive into Step 2 of the 12-step program. After acknowledging the reality of addiction in Step 1, Step 2 is all about coming to believe in a higher power that can restore sanity and guide individuals towards rational decisions.
For Bradley, faith in God has been a cornerstone of his recovery, bringing both sanity and a renewed sense of purpose to his life. But he knows that the idea of God and faith can be challenging for many, especially those with negative past experiences with religion. Bradley and CJ's discussion sheds light on the importance of a personal relationship with a higher power, rather than a rigid, behavior-focused approach to recovery.
They also highlight the invaluable role of friends and mentors in this journey, the benefits of maintaining a sober mind, and the profound impact of the 12-step program on achieving lasting change. If you or someone you care about is grappling with addiction, this episode serves as a beacon of hope, illustrating that transformation is possible through faith and surrender.
