And the coolest thing, you guys, Ben, means it when he says: go into the rooms and be mad, go into the rooms and be angry.
Ever wondered how separating spirituality from faith could lead to true joy in recovery? This episode of 'Journey Unveiled' with host Michael Maassel features Ben Dickey, who has recently marked 13 years of sobriety. Ben opens up about his journey, revealing how he navigated the complexities of faith and spirituality to find genuine happiness in his recovery process. His story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about discovering a new way to live and thrive.
Ben shares candidly about the steps he took to redefine his spirituality, distancing it from the traditional faith he once knew. This shift was pivotal in his journey, helping him to embrace a more personal and fulfilling path. He also discusses the importance of addressing trauma and seeking therapy, emphasizing that feeling anger and frustration is a natural part of healing. Ben's experiences offer valuable insights for anyone on their own recovery journey or supporting a loved one through theirs.
His reflections on the role of spirituality, the benefits of non-faith-based recovery programs like SMART Recovery, and the power of an open mind are both inspiring and practical. Tune in to hear Ben's heartfelt story and gain a fresh perspective on finding joy in recovery.
