Dirty 3 Letter G Word
So it’s a timely discussion for sure as we are deep into the holiday season that means many things to many people. So I want you to just open your ears and your heart and go with me while we break down the three letter G word.
Let me ask you, Do you hate religion? Have you struggled with recovery because of the G word?
You aren’t alone. Tons of recovering women have struggled with concepts around the spiritual program since the creation of AA in 1935.
I would even take a chance and say as many women have gotten sober as those who have gotten drunk, because of a higher power. Am I right?
And if you don't get anything else from this episode I want you to walk away with the fact that religion is not the same thing as spirituality.
We go into much greater detail about harnessing the energy from source outside yourself in the Sober Freedom Inner Circle membership. I share with you different spiritual philosophies and some ideas about how to come to your own understanding.
