I believe that I'm when I'm operating at my highest vibration, I'm one with the universe, with spirit, with source, whatever you want to call it god, and that's how I want to be operating at peak, as often as I can, as much as I can.
Imagine being 17 and a half years into your recovery journey and still finding new depths to explore. That’s exactly where James M. finds himself in this episode of 'Understanding Violence Addiction'. James dives into Step 3 of Violence Anonymous (VA) recovery, a step that calls for turning his will and life over to a power greater than violence.
This isn't James's first rodeo with the steps; it’s his sixth pass, and each time, he unearths new layers of growth and understanding. James shares how he views his higher power not as an external deity but as the universe, spirit, or source. This perspective helps him process daily triggers more effectively and shift his focus to a more positive state.
He candidly discusses his struggle with limiting beliefs and how they hinder his ability to create the life he dreams of. One of the key insights James offers is the realization that he has been unconsciously controlling much of his life. By surrendering this control to a power greater than violence, he opens the door to peace and prosperity.
His journey is a testament to the ongoing nature of recovery and the profound transformations that can occur when we let go and trust in something bigger than ourselves. Whether you’re new to the concept of violence addiction or have been on your own recovery path for years, James’s story is both relatable and inspiring. Tune in to hear how turning over control can lead to a life filled with the peace and prosperity you’ve always dreamed of.
