Let us guide you on the right things to do and the right decisions to make to ensure that you and your loved one gets the help that you need.

    437 - Faith, Spirituality, and Sobriety: Finding Balance in Recovery

    07Join our FREE FB Support group!: The Sobriety Network Download our free guides!: https://www.realrecoverytalk.com/guides Chat with us! https://www.realrecoverytalk.com/services In this episode, we dive deep into the role of religion within the sobriety journey and explore how it fits into 12-step programs. We discuss our own thoughts on the intersection of faith, spirituality, and recovery, emphasizing the importance of keeping an open mind and being receptive to suggestions when starting the path to sobriety. Responding to a listener's comment, we also address the delicate balance between religion and recovery, examining how rigid religious perspectives can sometimes push people away from 12-step programs. We highlight why it's crucial to give multiple meetings a try—because each meeting can have a different tone, group dynamic, and approach. It's important to stick with the 12-step process long enough to gain a true understanding of how it works and to see if it resonates with your journey. Sometimes, initial discomfort can give way to breakthroughs as you find the right group and environment to foster your growth. Join us for an insightful conversation on how to keep an open heart and mind in sobriety, while exploring the balance between faith and recovery.
