Carrying Your Cross: Spiritual Strength with Bill Vineyard

To carry your cross is to follow a path of spiritual principles every single day...more often than not–we fail at this
What does it mean to carry your cross every day? In this episode of The Recovery Effect Podcast, Bill Vineyard dives into this profound question, offering a blend of personal stories and professional wisdom from his 37+ years as an alcohol and drug counselor. Bill's engaging narrative covers everything from detoxing a prizefighting alcoholic to the dangers of creating a false 'Scarface' persona.
He emphasizes the importance of developing a strong spiritual life to navigate the ups and downs of recovery. Listeners will gain valuable insights into the bondage of self and how it can undermine our best efforts. Bill also discusses the critical role of an honest fourth step and the power of forgiveness. With anecdotes about Dr. Bob and Bill W., he highlights the benefits of self-giving, gratitude, and prayer, painting a hopeful picture for anyone on their recovery journey.
This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and spiritual guidance, perfect for anyone seeking to strengthen their path to sobriety.
