Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? The latest episode of 'Relational Recovery' dives into the profound concept of surrender in the context of addiction recovery. Hosted by Matthew and his guest, John Ortberg, the conversation centres around the third step of the 12-step programme—surrendering to a higher power. Ortberg’s book, 'Steps,' provides a backdrop as they explore how surrender doesn't mean losing oneself, but rather finding peace and purpose through a relationship with God.
The discussion challenges common misconceptions, portraying surrender as a path to flourishing rather than self-erasure. The hosts unpack the serenity prayer, highlighting its significance in embracing acceptance and courage in recovery. With humour and authenticity, they tackle the challenges of trust and faith, encouraging listeners to see surrender as a journey filled with starts and stops, much like recovery itself.
