In this enlightening episode of Peji's Recovery Corner, we delve into the spiritual journey of addiction recovery with Michaelis Jacoby, a longtime advocate for sobriety and the author of 'The Spiritual Revolution.' Born and raised in Los Angeles, Michaelis faced numerous challenges as a teenager, battling addiction, depression, and ADHD. His story is one of resilience and transformation, having spent years in recovery programs that ultimately led to a profound spiritual awakening.
Michaelis shares his personal history, highlighting the influence of family dynamics on his path to recovery. His upbringing in a complex family environment, with a father who was an Israeli Zionist and a Mossad agent, and a mother with whom he had an enmeshed relationship, contributed to his early struggles. Despite these challenges, his introduction to the 12-step program marked a turning point in his life, offering a framework for sobriety and personal growth.
The conversation explores the essence of his recovery philosophy, emphasizing the importance of a spiritual approach to overcoming addiction. Michaelis discusses his belief in selfless service and the power of connecting to a higher entity that fosters fearlessness and peace. This principle, he argues, is crucial for anyone seeking to create a fellowship that supports their recovery journey. Furthermore, Michaelis introduces his book, 'The Spiritual Revolution,' which aims to guide readers through a transformative process of self-discovery and spiritual connection.
He encourages reading it with others, fostering intimacy and shared growth, and highlights how the book can serve as a tool for both addicts and non-addicts alike. This episode is not only a testament to Michaelis's dedication to helping others achieve sobriety but also an invitation to explore the spiritual dimensions of recovery. It's a call to embrace the power of selfless service and the potential for personal transformation through spiritual practices.
