I'm going to say god because I can say that word now. I do think, for me personally, at least having not grown up with any definition of a higher power, that I really had an advantage there because I didn't have any obstacles to overcome, like Spencer had mentioned, that sort of dominating god that is referred to in some religions, that that could be a major obstacle for people to overcome where I was just coming from- a total blank slate, and so I could just have it be whatever it is.
Ever felt overwhelmed by the chaos of addiction in a loved one? Episode 127 of 'The Recovery Show' tackles this head-on with an exploration of Step 2 in Al-Anon's 12-step recovery program.
