I think the idea here is that I need to practice turning my problems over. I need to recognize, when I get a good result from turning problems over, from letting go of my will and letting the universe guide me to an outcome.
Ever found yourself wrestling with the idea of letting go and trusting something greater than yourself? In this episode of The Recovery Show, the host dives into the nitty-gritty of Step 3 in the 12-step recovery process. This step asks us to make a decision to turn our will and lives over to the care of a higher power, a concept that can be daunting for many.
The host takes a reflective journey through their own experiences, spanning over 15 years, and shares the personal growth and struggles encountered while working through Step 3 in 2002, 2011, and 2017. You'll hear about the pivotal role the Al-Anon program and its community have played in helping them understand and practice this crucial step. The episode also explores how surrendering control can affect decision-making, particularly when it comes to parenting.
The host discusses the value of turning problems over to the universe and allowing it to guide decisions, highlighting how this approach can bring peace and clarity. The conversation extends to the persistent illusions that addiction can create and how connecting with others' experiences can be a powerful tool in recovery. To wrap things up, the episode offers some suggested songs that resonate with the themes of surrender and recovery.
Tune in for an honest, heartfelt discussion that might just change how you view control and trust in your own recovery journey.
