I think everybody that I know that's worked the program successfully for as long a period of time embrace that there is a power greater than themselves. It was something that allowed me to open up space for the spirit to get in me, rather than because I had blocked it off on the inside so I wasn't able to open that for the spirit to get in.
Ever wondered how spirituality can shape the path to recovery from addiction? In this episode of Recovery Internet Radio, hosts Rick Atwater and Rob Ryberg dive into this profound topic with guests Chuck O and Chris S. Both men share their unique journeys of overcoming addiction through a newfound faith in a power greater than themselves. Initially, neither Chuck nor Chris were seeking spirituality, but they found it played a crucial role in their recovery.
Chuck realized later on that he was part of a spiritual program, while Chris discovered that opening up to the spirit helped him connect deeply with others and find a new way of life. The conversation also sheds light on the importance of community support in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Chuck and Chris emphasize that their sobriety and spiritual growth were significantly influenced by the people around them in AA.
They also address common misconceptions about AA and spirituality, explaining that the program is not about imposing beliefs but about finding a higher power that resonates with each individual. This episode offers a heartwarming look at how faith and community can transform lives. Chuck and Chris's stories provide hope and compassion for anyone struggling with addiction. Tune in to hear their inspiring tales of growth and transformation.
