James M’s Journey: Embracing a Higher Power in Violence Addiction Recovery

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.

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.
