But if we can let our higher power control our will and instincts so that they operate at the level at which they were intended to operate, then maybe we won't feel so restless, irritable and discontented, and maybe we can live without so much conflict and without doing so much harm to others.
Imagine the relief of letting go of the constant need to control everything. In this episode of 'Recovery Road', you'll dive into the profound concept of surrendering self-will to a higher power. Drawing from the acclaimed book 'A Program for You: A Guide to the Big Book's Design for Living', the anonymous authors take you on a journey through the Twelve Steps, emphasizing how relinquishing control can lead to true serenity and purpose.
The episode highlights how excessive focus on self-will can create inner turmoil and conflict, not just within ourselves but in our relationships too. By learning to trust in something greater than ourselves, we open the door to peace and a renewed sense of direction. Whether you're in the early stages of recovery or have been on this path for years, this discussion offers valuable insights into setting healthy goals, practicing self-care, and navigating life's challenges with grace.
Tune in to 'Recovery Road' and explore how letting go can be the key to a fulfilling, sober life.
