Ego and Recovery: Jon R's Spiritual Journey
“Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's. This is a progression of a relationship. You're maintaining doing the watering to produce the growth, and so for me, in my experience, I have to do that with God on a daily basis”
What happens when you mix spirituality with the raw reality of addiction recovery? Jon R takes center stage in this episode of 'Ashes To Rubies' to share his personal battle with addiction and the pivotal role spirituality played in his healing process. Drawing from the metaphor of Caesar's coin, Jon dives deep into the idea of letting go of ego and surrendering to a higher power.
He candidly discusses the inner voice that constantly told him he wasn't good enough and how alcohol became both a false friend and a destructive force in his life. Jon emphasizes the importance of daily conscious contact with God, likening it to tending a garden that requires constant care and attention. Alongside the hosts, he offers a message of hope, community, and vulnerability to anyone grappling with addiction.
They remind listeners that they are not alone and invite them to join the LifeLab workshop for ongoing support. If you're looking for a heartfelt discussion on spirituality and recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
