I really need you to bring about healing. For me, like, that is an act of powerlessness, isn't it? Whatever my life is, it would not be manageable without you, which means in and of myself.
Have you ever felt like you're trying to control everything, only to end up feeling even more out of control? In this episode of 'Recovery at Cokesbury', Mark Beebe takes a deep dive into the concept of powerlessness as part of the 12-step recovery program. Sharing his own battles with addiction, Mark talks about how his obsession with control and self-reliance led him down a destructive path.
He doesn't hold back on discussing the harsh realities of trying to manage every aspect of life, which often leads to feelings of unmanageability and despair. Through his candid storytelling, Mark highlights the critical importance of surrendering to a higher power and seeking healing through faith. He also touches on the fear of economic insecurity that many addicts face, explaining how this fear can intensify the need for control.
Mark's message is clear: true recovery begins when we let go of our desire to control everything and open ourselves up to the transformative power of faith. Tune in to hear how embracing powerlessness can actually lead to a stronger, more resilient recovery journey.
