Finding Peace: Jerome Oakley on the Spiritual Path to Recovery

The steps come from Jesus Christ Sermon on the mount. The drugs, the alcohol, the sex, the gambling, the codependency- everything we do that is self destructive, is just a manifestation of our spiritual disease.
Jerome Oakley takes listeners on a heartfelt journey through the spiritual aspects of addiction and recovery. In this episode of 'Straight Up No Chaser', Jerome shares his personal battle with addiction and how Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) offered a lifeline. By diving into the Big Book and its teachings, he unravels the concept of spiritual malady and the dis-ease many addicts feel with a higher power. Jerome emphasizes that understanding this spiritual dimension is crucial for true healing and long-term sobriety.
He discusses how a spiritual awakening can lead to a profound psychic change, helping to lift the obsession with destructive substances. This episode isn't just about theory; it's filled with real-life experiences and practical insights that can inspire anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is. If you're looking for an honest, compassionate, and deeply personal take on recovery, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on finding peace and purpose through spirituality.
