Show Notes:

Welcome to the Recovered Podcast, where we continue our journey through the steps of recovery. In this episode, we share our experiences with Step 2: "Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity." This step builds upon the surrender of Step 1, offering hope and a solution to the powerlessness we've experienced. We explore what it means to confront unmedicated feelings like fear, anger, and hopelessness, and how we can cope with these emotions without relying on substances or harmful behaviors.

Join us as we discuss the profound meaning of a "Power greater than ourselves" and how it can lead us to sanity. Keep an open mind and take what you like and lead the rest because this step is about your understanding of a Higher Power and nobody else's.
