"The group was my higher power, and with every share, each person's experience, strength and hope was my higher power".
Denise M takes centre stage in this episode of SoberQ, sharing her journey through the challenging step three of alcohol recovery. She opens up about her initial scepticism towards religious concepts and how she found her own interpretation that worked for her. Denise candidly recounts how 'good orderly direction' became her guiding principle, replacing traditional notions of a higher power with the collective wisdom of her recovery group.
Her story spans decades of sobriety, each marked by evolving understandings and a dynamic relationship with the concept of a higher power. Denise's experiences are relatable to anyone who's grappled with the idea of surrendering control, and she emphasises the importance of turning one's will over to something beyond oneself for lasting peace and sobriety. Her narrative is both personal and universal, highlighting the fluid nature of recovery and the need for adaptability in one's beliefs.
As Denise reflects on her four decades of sobriety, she inspires listeners to consider their own paths and what 'higher power' might mean to them. Whether you're new to recovery or have been on the journey for years, Denise's insights offer food for thought and perhaps a new perspective on step three. So, if you're curious about how others navigate these challenges, this episode might just provide the inspiration you need.
