Understanding Spiritual Wounds: Jon R.'s Path to Recovery
And so the big book describes our spirits as restless, discontent, irritable- all of those things...We're born with that spiritual sickness.
Have you ever wondered how spiritual wounds affect addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Ashes To Rubies', Jon R. sheds light on this often-overlooked aspect of healing. He starts by explaining that many of us are born with a spiritual disconnect, which we attempt to fill with external validation or substances like drugs and alcohol.

He shares his personal journey, illustrating how these wounds manifested in his life and how he found his way through them. Jon emphasizes the importance of surrendering to a higher power and the role of community in the recovery process. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of how spiritual wounds can hinder recovery and find actionable steps to overcome them.
