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?'
