The deal I made with God was I'm going to do his work, stay close to him, and he's going to take care of everything else.
In this enlightening episode of the Grace Group podcast, Mayan Corioso delves into his journey of recovery from alcoholism, which he has maintained since December 17, 2008. His story is not just about his struggles but also about the profound gratitude he feels for the life-changing grace he has experienced. Mayan humorously notes that even the state of Texas is grateful for his sobriety, as it no longer has to lock him up.
Mayan opens up about the recent challenges he faced during a two-week quarantine after being exposed to COVID-19. He describes the experience as 'stir crazy' but also finds solace in connecting with others through Zoom meetings, particularly those who are part of the Grace Group. These meetings have become a vital part of his recovery, providing a space to share experiences and learn from others on a similar path.
During his talk, Mayan emphasizes the importance of understanding the facts about oneself and the responsibilities that come with recovery. He discusses his early introduction to alcohol during his college baseball days when drinking was part of a pre-game ritual that led to a season of unbeaten games. However, this habit quickly spiraled into full-blown alcoholism by the age of 21. Mayan reflects on the concept of alcoholism, noting that it goes beyond just drinking daily.
It's about the powerlessness and unmanageability of one's life when under the influence of alcohol. He shares personal anecdotes, including interactions with therapists who attributed his drinking to childhood issues, and a poignant moment when he received an email from his biological mother. Through his experiences, Mayan has forged a spiritual path, making a personal deal with God to do His work and stay close, trusting that everything else will be taken care of.
This spiritual commitment has been a cornerstone in his recovery and personal growth. Mayan's journey is a testament to the power of community, spirituality, and resilience. His story inspires listeners to embrace their own paths to recovery and find strength in the grace and support of others.
