Finding Faith: Embracing Spirituality in Recovery

Without understanding the insanity that and how it relates to our disease and how a spiritual power greater than ourselves is the only thing that can arrest that, we're not going to be open-minded to um the rest of the program on how to achieve conscious contact with our higher power.
Ever felt like you're lost at sea, battling the waves of addiction without a lifeline? In this episode of '12 Steps of Recovery', the focus shifts to Step 2, titled 'We Agnostics'. Here, the host, Ilya, shares his raw and unfiltered journey through the murky waters of spirituality and recovery. Ilya, who openly identifies as an alcoholic, dives deep into the concept of powerlessness and the insanity that often accompanies addiction.
He argues that a spiritual power greater than ourselves is essential for true recovery. But don’t worry, this isn’t about preaching or pushing beliefs; it’s about finding what works for you. Whether you’re skeptical about spirituality or already have a strong faith, Ilya’s reflections offer something valuable for everyone. He encourages listeners to approach their recovery with compassion and empathy, both for themselves and others still struggling with addiction.
The episode also touches on the dangers of 'spiritual make-believe', urging a genuine connection with a higher power, whatever that may look like for you. By the end, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how spirituality can play a transformative role in your journey to sobriety. Tune in and see how embracing a higher power can be the anchor you need in your path to recovery.
