There's nothing more important to true growth than realizing that you are not the voice of the mind.
Have you ever wondered how spirituality fits into sobriety? In this episode of Recovery Elevator, Paul Churchill dives into this complex topic with guest Mona, who has been sober for two weeks. They tackle the big questions about God and AA, exploring why some people struggle with the idea of a higher power in their recovery journey. Mona opens up about her own experiences, sharing how she's managed rules and boundaries to maintain her sobriety and build more authentic relationships.
The conversation also touches on the rise of alcoholism and the decline in AA meeting attendance, questioning whether the religious aspects of AA are a barrier for some. Paul discusses alternative programs like SMART and Life Ring, emphasizing that finding a recovery path that resonates with you is crucial. They also highlight the benefits of non-alcoholic social events in creating a supportive community.
This episode is a reminder that sobriety is about more than just not drinking; it’s about finding true growth and authenticity. As Mona says, 'there's nothing more important to true growth than realizing that you are not the voice of the mind'. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that might just change your perspective on sobriety and spirituality.
