We claim spiritual progress rather than spiritual perfection.
Ever feel like you're falling short in your recovery journey? You're not alone. In Episode 72 of The Recovery Show, Mara and Spencer tackle the common struggle of balancing perfection and progress within the 12-step recovery framework. Drawing from their own experiences, they discuss how the relentless pursuit of perfection can actually hinder your growth and why self-acceptance is a crucial part of the process.
They share heartfelt stories about coping with feelings of abandonment, staying serene amidst chaos, and the power of living in the moment. Alongside these personal anecdotes, Mara and Spencer highlight the importance of spirituality in fostering resilience and growth. They emphasize that it's not about being perfect but about being willing to grow spiritually and emotionally. As Mara aptly puts it, 'We're not saints. The point is that we're willing to grow along spiritual lines'.
This episode is a comforting reminder that progress, no matter how small, is still progress. Tune in for a conversation that encourages you to let go of control, embrace your imperfections, and focus on the journey rather than the destination.
