When I attach a judgment to a word that is in the program, that rubs me the wrong way. Higher power is really just like it is a power greater than myself. Maybe it's not some higher power, but it's definitely just not me that is handling that situation.
Ever felt put off by the 'God language' in the 12 steps of Al-Anon? You're not alone. In this episode of The Recovery Show, host Spencer and three listeners share their journeys of navigating recovery without traditional religious beliefs. They open up about how they managed to work the program despite their initial struggles with its spiritual terminology.
This episode is a treasure trove of personal stories and practical advice for anyone who finds the concept of a higher power challenging. The guests discuss how they found alternative interpretations of a higher power, whether it be love, nature, or even a shift in perspective. They also talk about the importance of setting boundaries and creating meetings that align with their schedules and beliefs.
By sharing their unique experiences, they offer a fresh take on spirituality that’s inclusive and adaptable. This conversation is not just informative but also deeply supportive, encouraging listeners to find what works best for them. Tune in to discover how you can embrace the spiritual aspects of recovery in a way that feels authentic to you.
