The First Three Steps: A Journey to Recovery with Paul and Dave

It's less formal and I don't have to get on my knees and put my hands together and sort of pray. But yeah, no, it happens a lot in the car. You're not flying on your own, you're flying with company kind of thing.
Imagine you're on a plane, thinking you're flying solo, only to realize you've got company on this transformative journey. That's how Paul Noddings and Dave describe the initial steps of the 12 Step Program in this episode of 'Stories of Addiction'. They dive into the first three steps, which focus on admitting powerlessness over addiction and recognizing the need for help from others and a higher power.
For Paul, this higher power is the collective consciousness, while others might lean on traditional religious beliefs. The conversation explores different interpretations and emphasizes the importance of finding comfort in something greater than oneself. The episode also touches on the distinction between acceptance and turning your life over to a higher power. Whether you're new to recovery or looking for fresh insights, Paul and Dave's candid discussion offers valuable perspectives on these foundational steps.
Tune in to learn how admitting vulnerability and seeking support can pave the way to a fulfilling recovery.
