Step Three: Trusting a Higher Power with Lisa and Julie
Faith is hard for us because it involves mystery and as an addict, I don't like to be unsure about anything... But we can usually discern good from bad, right, and usually the highest good is something that comes from a higher power. For me, a higher choice is something that is devoid of self-centered, self-seeking self, self-pitying type behavior.
Ever wondered how faith plays into the journey of recovery? Lisa and Julie from '2 Sober Chicks' tackle this very question in their discussion on Step Three of the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. In this episode, they break down what it means to turn your will and life over to a higher power, sharing their personal stories and struggles along the way.
Both recovering addicts, Lisa and Julie talk about how difficult it can be to surrender control and trust something greater than themselves. They highlight the importance of faith, even when it feels like an impossible leap. The episode is filled with personal anecdotes, including a memorable visit to Dr. Bob's house, one of the founders of AA, where they felt the profound impact of Step Three.
You'll also hear about the role of sponsorship and the power of sharing stories at speaker meetings. If you're navigating your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode offers heartfelt insights and practical advice on embracing faith and surrender in recovery.
