Just to the extent that we do, as we think he would have us and humbly rely on him, does he enable us to match calamity with serenity.
Imagine facing the storm of addiction and discovering a calm, peaceful center within yourself. In this episode of 'Promise of Recovery', host Lauren Lansrud takes us on a journey to understand serenity's pivotal role in overcoming addiction. While sobriety, support systems, and the 12 steps are often highlighted, serenity is a less discussed but equally crucial element. Did you know that the word 'serenity' appears only three times in the early pages of the Big Book?
Lauren dives into these mentions, revealing the deep wisdom they offer for anyone on the recovery path. From Bill's Story, where serenity arrives with the presence of a higher power, to How It Works, which shows how faith can help us face calamity with calmness, and Into Action, promising that we will truly understand serenity and find peace. Lauren doesn't stop at definitions.
She paints a vivid picture of serenity, comparing it to the sweetness and lightness of cotton candy—a gentle, comforting presence even in tough times. Through personal stories from 12 step members, she illustrates how surrender and humility are keys to unlocking this peace. The episode is rich with reflections and promises from AA, showing how serenity isn't just an abstract idea but a reachable state of being.
For those grappling with addiction, this episode offers a beacon of hope and practical advice on finding tranquility amid chaos. Tune in to learn how embracing humility, surrender, and a higher power can transform your recovery journey.
