What can we learn from those who have battled addiction? This episode of 'At The CCC' takes you on a reflective journey with hosts Anthony, LouiLou, and producer Jordan as they discuss the importance of prayer and meditation in the recovery process. Broadcasting from the heart of San Francisco's Castro Country Club, they create a welcoming space for those in the queer recovery community to explore sobriety and personal growth.
The trio dives into the essence of Step 11 from the 12-step programme, which focuses on improving conscious contact through prayer and meditation. They strip away the traditional language and present it as a practice of pausing, reflecting, and listening. As LouiLou points out, "It's about asking a question and then being willing to take a moment and listen for the answer." This approach helps individuals slow down and gain awareness, essential tools for anyone in recovery.
With a sprinkle of humour and personal anecdotes, they explore how meditation doesn't have to fit a rigid mould. Jordan humorously reflects on how meditation can be as simple as being present in a conversation. The episode also touches on the physiological benefits of meditation, such as enhancing brain function and reducing stress. Whether you're part of the queer community or simply interested in recovery stories, this episode offers a blend of laughter, wisdom, and practical advice.
