Recovery is not just a state of mind, it's a way of life sourced from your heart.
Imagine finding solace in the natural world while navigating the rocky path of addiction recovery. In this episode of Recovery Internet Radio, hosts Rick Atwater and Rob Ryberg welcome a guest whose story is as inspiring as it is unique. Growing up in an alcoholic environment, our guest found early refuge in hunting and fishing. However, as life progressed, he turned to other escapes, including alcohol and drugs.
After a stint in the military and an illegal 'sales position', he encountered his first spiritual awakening. Yet, it was his deep dive into Native American traditions that truly transformed his journey to sobriety. The episode delves into the significance of ceremonies like sweat lodges, vision quests, and smudging in cleansing the spirit and connecting with a higher power. Our guest also touches on the fascinating intersections between Christianity and Native American spirituality.
If you're curious about how nature and tradition can play a pivotal role in recovery, this episode offers a fresh perspective. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that combines personal anecdotes with broader insights into the spiritual aspects of sobriety.
