It's god helping me, it's god showing up, giving me an opportunity to change, to see where I am at fall, to see where I'm out of harmony with that great life force.
What if spirituality could be the key to unlocking a deeper sense of recovery? In this episode of Sober Cast, Mildred F, sober since 1973, shares her wisdom from over three decades of sobriety. Recorded during a workshop in Orlando, Florida, in March 2007, Mildred dives into the spiritual essence of the 12 Steps.

Mildred's insights are both personal and profound. She talks about the transformative power of forgiveness and humility, and how these virtues have played a pivotal role in her own spiritual growth. One of her key messages is the importance of recognizing the divine within ourselves and others, which she believes can lead to positive changes in our lives.
With a blend of personal anecdotes and practical advice, Mildred makes a compelling case for why spirituality should be at the heart of the recovery process. Her workshop is filled with thought-provoking ideas that aim to inspire and uplift anyone on their path to sobriety.
As Mildred puts it, 'It's god helping me, it's god showing up, giving me an opportunity to change, to see where I am at fault, to see where I'm out of harmony with that great life force'. This episode is not just a lecture; it's a heartfelt conversation about finding spiritual fulfillment and embracing the journey towards a better self.
