Theresa F.'s Path to Peace: Embracing Step 2 in Recovery

I need to believe that, not debate that, not struggle with that. In The Recent Years, I've looked at the idea of this power as being so magnificent and omnipotent than ever before. I now get to see people that I didn't see before, because now it's illuminated and I have light.
What happens when you realize you can't do it all alone? Theresa F. knows this feeling all too well. In this episode of 'Mad Dog Recovery AA Speakers', she opens up about her personal journey through Step 2 of the Alcoholics Anonymous program. Theresa's story is one of struggle, surrender, and spirituality, offering a heartfelt look at how she came to understand the importance of a higher power in her recovery process.
Theresa begins by sharing her initial resistance to the idea of surrendering to something greater than herself. Like many, she grappled with the concept of a higher power, wrestling with doubts and skepticism. But it was through reading the Chapter to the Agnostics in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous that she found clarity. This chapter helped her see that acknowledging her powerlessness over alcohol was not a sign of weakness but a crucial step toward healing.
Throughout her talk, Theresa highlights the transformative power of letting go of ego and embracing humility. She describes how her understanding of a higher power has evolved, bringing her peace, serenity, and a renewed sense of purpose. Theresa also emphasizes the importance of maintaining a conscious contact with this higher power, explaining how it has been a cornerstone in her journey to sobriety. But Theresa's message isn't just about her own experience.
She passionately believes in the power of sharing one's story to help others. By offering her experience, strength, and hope, she aims to guide others who are navigating their own paths to recovery. Her talk is a powerful reminder that no one has to face addiction alone and that there is always hope for a better life. If you're struggling with addiction or know someone who is, Theresa's insights on Step 2 might be just what you need.
Tune in to hear her inspiring journey and learn how surrendering to a higher power can transform your life.
