I realized that video games have been something that had been in my life, my entire life, that I love. It's always been my escape. In some ways it was my first addiction, but it is something that has always been a good escape for me, and putting it into terms of something I love so much- having my hp- I got to take care of it.
Ever wondered how someone finds their higher power in the journey to sobriety? In this episode of 'gAy A: A Queer Sober Podcast', host Steve Bennet-Martin opens up about his personal experience with Step Two of his twelve-step program. This step, which involves believing in a power greater than oneself to restore sanity, can be particularly tough for those with complicated feelings about religion or spirituality.
Steve, who grew up Catholic, shares how his upbringing initially shaped his views on the concept of a higher power. However, he found his own unique interpretation using the idea of 'hit points' from video games. This fresh perspective not only helped him but also serves as a reminder that everyone's journey is different and personal. Steve underscores the importance of attending meetings and reading recovery literature to keep one's 'hit points' replenished.
He encourages listeners to find their own interpretations and share their stories, creating a supportive community for those navigating similar paths. If you're grappling with the idea of a higher power in your sobriety journey, this episode offers valuable insights and support.
