Building the Foundation: Hope, Faith, and Trust in Drug Recovery
I found out, through a lot of inventories, most of my pain, and I mean most of my pain in my life in all aspects comes from my resistance to something.
How do you start the journey to drug recovery? In this episode of 'Stories of Addiction', you'll hear from Frankie M and Steve A, two individuals who have walked the path of recovery and come out stronger. They open up about the critical first three steps in the 12-step program: hope, faith, and trust. These steps aren't just buzzwords; they're the building blocks for a new life free from addiction.
Frankie and Steve share their struggles with admitting they were powerless over their addiction and how turning to a higher power brought them hope for better days. Mistakes were made along the way, but each slip-up became a lesson rather than a setback. Their sponsors played a crucial role in guiding them through these initial stages, reinforcing that hope, faith, and trust can set the tone for the entire recovery process.
The episode also touches on the importance of surrender and acceptance, showing how resistance can hinder healing. Plus, there's a powerful message about how helping others can be an essential part of your own recovery journey. If you're looking for inspiration or practical advice on starting your own path to sobriety, this episode is a must-listen.
