"I just need to turn up and take action and do the next right thing."
In this episode of the SoberQ podcast, Nick M shares his journey through step three of recovery, where the focus is on making a decision to turn one's will and life over to the care of a higher power. Nick candidly discusses how he navigates the idea of a higher power, emphasising the importance of ignoring others' conceptions of God and finding what works personally.
With a sprinkle of humour, Nick likens the process to choosing railway tracks without knowing where they lead, trusting that his higher power will guide him to the right destination. Nick's approach to recovery is refreshingly pragmatic, acknowledging the role of self-will and willpower in daily life while maintaining that the ultimate outcomes are beyond his control. He shares anecdotes about everyday situations, like waiting for a train, illustrating how he applies step three in practical terms.
It's not about having all the answers; it's about showing up, taking action, and trusting that things will work out. Listeners will find Nick's reflections both relatable and inspiring, as he highlights that there are powers greater than oneself that can help maintain sobriety. With over 13 years sober, Nick's story is a testament to the effectiveness of step three when applied with sincerity and openness.
For those on their own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into embracing step three with an open mind and heart. It's an engaging listen that encourages you to consider your own understanding of higher powers and how they might play a role in your path to sobriety.
