Affirmations for Recovery Podcast - Season Seven Day Seventeen

As I ventured through the ups and downs of my recovery journey, I discovered a profound truth in the acronym G.O.D.—Good Orderly Direction. It's this revelation that has become a cornerstone of my path to healing, and in our latest heart-to-heart, I bare my soul about transitioning from traditional religious roots to a more personalized spirituality. 

Our conversation serves as a beacon of hope, illuminating the empowering mantra that encourages us to embrace the things we cannot change, muster the fortitude to transform what we can, and cultivate the sagacity to distinguish between the two. You'll hear us exchange our diverse interpretations of spirituality, affirming that every recovery story is a personal odyssey, marked by individual trials, triumphs, and treasures. This dialogue is not just a sharing of experiences—it's a testament to the strength we garner from our communal bonds, a reminder that while each journey is our own, we're never truly walking alone.

Three questions I can answer:

1. How can spirituality play a role in addiction recovery and sobriety?
2. What does the acronym G.O.D. represent in the context of recovery and personal growth?
3. Where can I find resources or a community to support my journey through recovery with a focus on spirituality and personal belief systems?
