  • Came To Believe - Ch 8

    In today’s episode of Sober Readings, we wrap up Chapter 8 of Came To Believe with the final five powerful short stories. These personal accounts explore the deeply personal and often surprising ways people found a Higher Power that worked for them—whether through nature, quiet moments of surrender, unexpected spiritual awakenings, or simple acts of faith that changed everything.

    From raw moments of desperation to gentle realizations of connection, these stories highlight the wide variety of spiritual paths in recovery and remind us that a Higher Power can meet us exactly where we are. If you’ve ever wondered how spirituality shows up in everyday recovery life, this episode is full of relatable, hopeful, and sometimes humorous insights.

    🎧 Listen as we read and reflect on these closing stories from Chapter 8.

    If you’d like to join me live for next Sunday’s reading of Chapter 9, simply send me an email at [email protected] and I’ll add you to the list and send you the meeting details.

    Thank you for listening and for being part of this journey of recovery, one page at a time. Keep coming back—it works if you work it!
