Finding Happiness Within: A Journey with Roger B.
Episode Overview
True happiness is found within, not outside. Building a relationship with a higher power is crucial. Introspection is key to personal growth in recovery. Societal expectations often mislead our search for fulfilment. Spiritual practices like prayer and meditation aid in finding inner peace.
The key is not in the grass. It was not lost outside ourselves. It was lost inside ourselves.
Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? Join Roger B. as he tackles the age-old quest for happiness and purpose in this engaging episode of The Gathering. Roger, with over 43 years of recovery experience, draws from spiritual concepts and the 12 Steps to explore the idea that true contentment is an inside job.
Through a parable about a Sufi master searching for his lost key, Roger illustrates how we often look for happiness in all the wrong places—outside ourselves—when the real answer lies within. The episode features heartfelt contributions from guests like Kirsten, Tom, and Gwen, who share their personal stories of spiritual discovery and growth. They highlight the transformative power of building a relationship with a higher power and the importance of introspection in recovery.
Roger emphasises that it's not about achieving a specific goal but embracing an ongoing journey of self-exploration and spiritual connection. Listeners will find themselves reflecting on their own search for happiness and the societal pressures that mislead us. With a mix of humour and sincerity, this episode encourages you to reconsider where you're looking for fulfilment and to embrace the spiritual practices that can guide you towards inner peace. So, are you ready to find the answer within yourself?
