Unity asks that we see the connectedness that envelops us and accept our responsibility to share spirit with each other.
Ever feel like you're battling the world alone? Craig Nakken's insights might just change your perspective. In this episode of 'Recovery Road', you'll dive into an excerpt from Nakken's book, *Finding Your Moral Compass: Transformative Principles to Guide You in Recovery and Life*. Nakken, a seasoned therapist and addiction specialist, lays out forty-one spiritual principles that can steer our behavior towards healthier connections and away from isolating tendencies.
Through the story of Becky, a recovering addict who found solace and unity through simple tools like paper and pencil, Nakken illustrates the profound impact of community and connection. Becky's journey from isolation to feeling part of a larger whole highlights how essential unity is for long-term recovery. The episode nudges you to reflect on your own life: Are there moments where you pull away from others? What emotions drive you to isolate yourself?
Nakken believes that recognizing these impulses is the first step toward fostering meaningful connections that support your recovery journey. Whether you're new to recovery or have been on this path for a while, this episode offers valuable takeaways. It's not just about staying sober; it's about building a life rich with supportive relationships and spiritual growth.
So, if you're ready to explore how interconnectedness can be a cornerstone of your recovery, tune in and see how unity can transform your life.
