But the rewards are huge, because there's all of life to live, whether you've got a lot of Decades or maybe just one left, who knows, but definitely a better Today.
Have you ever wondered how spirituality can play a role in recovery? Brian Adkins sits down with Rev. Marcia, a minister with the Center for Spiritual Living in Greenville, SC, to explore her remarkable 34-year journey of sobriety. This episode of 'Recovery Rising' takes a deep dive into Marcia's early life, her struggles with addiction, and the pivotal moments that led her to ask for help in 1985.
With a blend of personal anecdotes and practical advice, Marcia sheds light on how spirituality has been a cornerstone in her recovery process. She discusses the impact of the 12-step program and the importance of believing in a higher power to regain sanity. Fellowship and community support are also highlighted as vital components in her journey. One key takeaway from Marcia's story is the transformative power of hitting rock bottom and the courage it takes to ask for help.
She emphasizes that seeking assistance is a sign of strength, not weakness. The episode also delves into practical tools for living a sober life, such as taking personal inventory, understanding resentments, and improving relationships. Marcia's narrative is one of resilience and hope, showing that recovery opens up new opportunities and a fulfilling way of life. From finding a new career in yachting to exploring new horizons while staying sober, her story is both inspiring and informative.
Whether you're on your own path to sobriety or interested in the role of spirituality in recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement.
