In today’s episode, I talk about role faith can play in various types of recovery—be it alcoholism, stroke, or vestibular disorder. I share my experience with faith, detailing how it has protected my sobriety and how I'm harnessing it to support my emotional well-being and recovery from a stroke.
I start by exploring the foundations of my faith, reflecting on childhood memories of church and the desire to connect with something greater. These early impressions evolved into a critical support pillar in my recovery toolkit.
I discuss my higher power, which taught me the importance of honesty, kindness, and courage in my recovery path. Discover how faith provided me with the wisdom to discern between what I can control and of what I must let go.
Further, I explore practical ways faith can aid recovery, providing acceptance and peace, inspiring hope and motivation, and fostering a supportive community. Learn how faith can be integrated into daily routines and therapy, and how setting meaningful goals can provide direction and strength.
Join me as we discuss the role of faith in accepting our current state and the courage to take action to build a faith big enough to hold you, even when you are broken.
