Embracing Powerlessness: A Path to Recovery with Ashes to Rubies

I think the powerlessness is really understanding that on a daily basis, I have no power over you. I have no power over today. I have no power over my addiction, and God's grace is the reason that I'm separated from that.
Ever feel like trying to control everything is just making things worse? In this episode of 'Ashes to Rubies', John and Vicki tackle the concept of 'Powerlessness' and how it can actually be a strength in addiction recovery. They kick things off with their morning meditation, setting a reflective tone for the discussion. The hosts share personal stories that illustrate the pitfalls of trying to control others, especially in the context of addiction.
They read from Al-Anon, highlighting a poignant example of a woman who tried to manage her husband's recovery, only to find herself more entangled in unmanageability. This episode is packed with relatable anecdotes and practical advice on focusing on self-improvement and connecting with a higher power. John and Vicki stress the importance of joining a recovery community and finding ways to be of service to others.
They emphasize that letting go of control and embracing powerlessness can lead to profound, lasting change. The episode wraps up with an invitation to join their LifeLab workshop and weekly connect meetings, offering listeners a tangible way to engage with a supportive community. Whether you're struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement.
