Faith and Action: Mike H.'s Journey to Recovery
“There's only one really important detail in whether I want to recover from this thing that I suffer from, and that is: am I willing to do the work?”
Imagine questioning if faith alone can guide you through recovery. Mike H. faced this very dilemma. In this episode of 'Big Book Awakening', he grapples with the question: 'Is a belief and faith in God enough for me to recover?' Mike's story is one of struggle and revelation, as he shares his initial resistance to the concept of a higher power and how it intertwined with his battle against addiction. But Mike's journey isn't just about belief; it's about action.

Through candid reflections and personal anecdotes, Mike illustrates how engaging with the Twelve Steps transformed his life. This episode offers a blend of spiritual insight and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone on the path to sobriety or supporting someone who is.
