Jeff Dafler's Spiritual Awakening: From Addiction to Author
“Growing up as a preacher is it kind of like being a famous baseball player's son, because I always thought those poor kids, their dad, is the guy they can't do anything.”
Imagine thinking you’re in control, only to realize that addiction has taken the reins. That’s Jeff Dafler’s story. In this episode of 'Recovery Talks: The Podcast', host Marc Lee Shannon sits down with Jeff, who opens up about his struggle with addiction and how he found a lifeline in spirituality. Jeff thought he could handle everything, but when he couldn’t start his day without a drink, he knew it was time for a change.
His journey led him to a transformative retreat at a New York abbey, where he discovered the power of psalms and meditation. This newfound spiritual connection didn’t just help him get sober; it inspired him to write and help others on their path to recovery. Jeff’s story is a powerful reminder that even in our darkest moments, there’s hope and strength to be found.
This episode is perfect for anyone seeking inspiration, whether you’re on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is.
