The meat and potatoes of this step is the turning. It's the beginning of the process of opening the doors, starting to take a look at ourselves, turning it over and relying on a higher power.
Ever wondered how surrendering control can transform your recovery journey? In this episode of Friends in Recovery, Podfather Mike Miles and Ed Chionchio Sr welcome back Richie Lombardi to explore Step 3 of the 12-step program: turning our will and lives over to the care of a higher power. This step is all about trust and letting go, but what does that really mean?
The trio dives into their personal interpretations of a higher power, emphasizing that it doesn't have to be God—it can be any force greater than oneself that provides guidance and support. They share stories of their own struggles with willpower versus surrender, making the discussion relatable and heartfelt. Richie, a self-proclaimed thick-headed Italian, opens up about his journey towards embracing this pivotal step, highlighting the doors it opened for him in his recovery.
The episode isn't just about letting go; it's about finding strength in community and the importance of having a sponsor. The hosts stress the value of celebrating milestones and supporting fellow recovering addicts. They wrap up with a nod to the Serenity Prayer, reminding listeners that acceptance and courage are key components of recovery.
If you're curious about how Step 3 can change your path to sobriety or looking for ways to support someone else on their journey, this episode offers plenty of insights and encouragement.
