Finding Peace Through Prayer: Spencer's Journey in 12-Step Recovery
“And I hope that I've been able to say here that what I have found the answer to that question is that I don't need to answer that question, because even if there's nobody out there listening, I still get value from prayer.”
Ever wondered how prayer can support your recovery journey? Spencer, a seasoned member of Al-Anon, takes you through his personal evolution with prayer in this episode. Growing up without a tradition of prayer, Spencer's early attempts were as simple as 'God, please give me a pony'. Spoiler alert: it didn't work! Fast forward to today, and prayer has become a cornerstone of his daily routine and recovery process.
He candidly shares his initial skepticism and how he gradually embraced different forms of prayer like the Serenity Prayer, the Third Step Prayer, and gratitude prayers.
