Children of Chaos: A Journey Through Sobriety's Challenges
Episode Overview
Sobriety involves trial and error but leads to wisdom. True ambition is about living usefully under divine grace. Taking action is crucial; fantasizing won't bring change. Alcoholism is both a physical allergy and mental obsession. Spiritual growth should replace aspirations for fame or riches.
"Once we clear a hurdle, it doesn't seem so high."
How do people cope with the challenges of staying sober?

The podcast also touches on the idea that alcoholism isn't just a physical allergy but a mental obsession. The episode encourages listeners to grow spiritually, allowing divine power to guide them rather than seeking fame or riches. With humour and honesty, Sarah M.
delivers these reflections, offering both comfort and challenge to those on their recovery journey. So, what drives someone to seek a life without alcohol?
