Whispers of the First Step: Admitting You Are Powerless #62

This week’s episode is a vulnerable share from your host, Stephanie, about her experience working through the first step in Al Anon. Al Anon is a group for loved ones of addicts, and within this group, Stephanie has found community and a path towards a new way of living. As she begins her work through the twelve steps, she’s found herself as a standstill within the first one: admitting she powerless over her attempts to control and manage her life when it has become unmanageable. Working through these steps is not for the faint of spirit- it requires full trust in a Higher Power and willingness to surrender to the path ahead. Highlights from this episode: - Her journey with her spirituality- from being raised within the Catholic religion, stepping away from her prior concepts of God and redefining her spirituality, and now once again finding herself at a crossroads, - The mixed bag of emotions she has towards the first step (we low key hate it lol). - Her journey of moving through fear and stepping away from the insanity of believing she can control and fix everything in her life. If you are feeling alone and hopeless within being affected by the sickness of addiction (in any respect), please do not hesitate to reach out and/or find your own Al Anon, AA or NA group. Overcoming this sickness requires letting people in- and sometimes it's hard to find the right people who get it.
