In this episode we will look at why many people join fellowships to get clean and sober and why they benefit from incorporating a higher power.

The Higher Power concept as a spiritual, pragmatic part of recovery is examined with and without a religious context.

For those who are unfamiliar with addiction related concepts pertaining to our hijacked survival instinct, The Disease Concept and the necessity for active daily Humility, I recommend pausing this episode and going back to Listen to episodes: 3, 4 and 10.

As many know, Humility is an essential ingredient in recovery. It helps us to see our powerlessness over addiction, opens us up to getting help and guides us in building a solid foundation.

The interplay of Consistency, Ego and Complacency are factors that can whittle away at our humility. This is what we will examine in this episode.
