I think higher power that moment, at any given moment, my higher power is what I need it to be.
Humility isn't just a word; it's a way of life, especially when it comes to the Al-Anon recovery journey. In this episode, Spencer, Swetha, and Kelli reunite to unpack Step 7: 'Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings'. They dive deep into what humility means to them, not as a sign of weakness, but as a powerful tool for accepting themselves and their situations as they are.
Kelli opens up about her struggle to prioritize serenity and how recognizing her character defects has been a game-changer. She emphasizes the need to step back from life's chaos to think clearly and work on removing these shortcomings. Spencer shares his perspective on how the gradual process of recovery makes him more aware of his defects and helps him embrace humility.
Swetha brings in the spiritual aspect, discussing how her higher power plays a role in her recovery, adapting to what she needs at any given moment. The hosts also highlight the importance of community support, face-to-face meetings, and sharing experiences with others. They remind listeners that the journey doesn't stop at Step 7; it's an ongoing process that continues one day at a time.
Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into finding serenity through the 12-step process.
