Finding Purpose in Recovery: Sterling Shumway and Thomas Kimball's Six Essentials
“In the early stages of recovery, your higher power offers you a life preserver of sorts. This life preserver represents your higher power's more accurate kind and loving perspective of who you are and what you are capable of.”
Imagine rebuilding your life after addiction, not just surviving but truly thriving. In this episode of Recovery Road, hosts William Moyers and authors Sterling Shumway and Thomas Kimball discuss the six essential principles that can help you achieve lasting recovery. Drawing from their book 'Six Essentials to Achieve Lasting Recovery', they explore how the early phases of recovery can set the stage for reclaiming your life's purpose and rebuilding a sense of accomplishment.
They emphasize the importance of connecting with your higher power, moving beyond basic milestones, and celebrating your unique talents. As Shumway and Kimball put it, 'Your higher power will help you define and highlight the right kinds of accomplishments to punctuate what is right and good, compelling you toward the right kinds of achievements'. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to unlock their sense of purpose and achieve lasting recovery.
