The Gathering With Roger B.

Roger B.

The Gathering’s talks are generally tied to one or more of the 12 Steps, but are always guided by spiritual concepts, principles and ideas common to most faiths. Topics are drawn from a variety of sources: the 12 steps, many of the well-known wisdom texts, science and other teachers that speak to a spiritual solution to life's challenges. About Roger B. Roger has been in recovery for over 43 years and has spent thousands of hours in service, sharing his experience, strength and hope. He has created curriculum for treatment centers, and lead workshops and retreats throughout the United States and Canada. Roger is a certified Spiritual Director, and offers insight into spiritually-based living skills that are relevant to all people – whether in recovery or not. Roger is the first to admit that his long-term sobriety was brought about by the “trial-and-error method.” His experience reveals what has worked, and - perhaps more importantly - what has not worked, but taught him valuable life lessons.

Roger Bruner's Take on Principles and Spiritual Disease

“The steps are the exercises I take and participate in to raise my consciousness, which changes my actions, which changes the results in my life, and I get a shift, and if I don't do that well, then I generally degrade back into where I came from.”

Roger Bruner, a man with over 43 years of recovery experience, dives deep into the concept of spiritual disease and the principles that guide us towards healing. In this episode of 'The Gathering with Roger B.', Roger opens up about how the 12 Steps have been more than just exercises; they’ve been transformative tools that elevate consciousness and change lives. He shares his personal journey, touching on the importance of self-examination and acting out of higher principles.

Roger doesn't shy away from discussing his initial skepticism towards the steps and how taking a leap of faith made all the difference. He highlights how love and gratitude are not just feelings but actions that play a crucial role in recovery. Honesty and integrity also take center stage in his discussion, emphasizing their importance in one's journey to sobriety. Whether you're in recovery or simply seeking spiritual guidance, Roger's insights offer a fresh and inspiring perspective.
