  • Came To Believe - Ch 4

    In this episode of Sober Readings, I continue our journey through Came to Believe, reading the first five stories and reflecting on the many different ways people in recovery discover faith, hope, and a Higher Power.

    One of the things I appreciate most about Came to Believe is that it reminds us there is no single path to spirituality. Each person arrives at belief—or simply a willingness to believe—in their own way and in their own time. These stories show how recovery can gradually open our minds to something greater than ourselves, even when we aren't sure what that something is.

    As you listen, I encourage you to think about your own journey. What did “coming to believe” look like for you? Has your understanding of a Higher Power changed during your sobriety?

    I'd love to hear your experience. Send me a message or comment, and if you'd like to share your experience, strength, and hope with others, consider joining me as a guest on Sober Readings.

    Just for today: Don’t drink. Go to a meeting. Keep coming back.
