What happens when you turn your will and life over to a higher power, and how can this transformation impact your everyday life? Join me on the latest episode of the Sober Experience as I share personal stories and insights into navigating the recovery process. We kick things off with personal updates, like celebrating a friend's upcoming wedding and recounting a minor work mishap that highlighted the value of supportive colleagues. From there, we explore the significance of genuine relationships, even in professional settings, and how unexpected circumstances can lead to meaningful connections. As we delve deeper into the third step of recovery, I tackle the challenge of overcoming negative beliefs about "God" and discuss the personal journey of defining and embracing one's own higher power.

In the second half of the episode, we focus on nurturing a relationship with a higher power through prayer, meditation, or introspection, while acknowledging the complex emotions that can accompany this journey. Drawing from my own experiences, I reflect on how a connection with a higher power has helped me resist negative impulses and change my behaviors. Embracing these insights has allowed for guidance in both daily life and significant moments. Before wrapping up, I celebrate a concise episode and give a shoutout to our friend Doug, who recently celebrated a year of sobriety. Stay tuned for plans to have Doug join us in future episodes, and remember to like and subscribe to the Sober Experience on all podcast platforms for more uplifting discussions.
