Morning Reflections: Humility and Growth in Recovery
Episode Overview
Embrace humility as a key aspect of recovery. Adversity can teach valuable lessons if you're open to it. Pride can hinder spiritual growth—let it go. Use humour to manage unfair criticism and forgive. Daily prayers can offer peace and strength.
