"Step Two" - The 12 Steps program of Recovery from Addiction - Episode 3


Listen Later

Step Two of the 12 Steps of recovery from the disease of addiction. "We came to believe in a Power greater than ourselves that could restore us to sanity." 

In this episode, we go over the meaning of what step two is all about. We are or have been in the grip of an addiction that has taken over our lives and we are out of control. Step two introduces a Power greater than ourselves, which for some comes easily, however for a lot of us it is a concept that is beyond anything we feel could possibly help. This was me, and I hope by listening to this episode you will see you are not alone. 

The power my addiction had over me was greater than me, I had to first admit that this was true and that I needed a Power greater than myself to get out from this deep dark hole I was in. I finally did accept a Power greater than myself and my recovery then began, without it I could have never gone into remission of this disease and still be in remission today 37 years later. From one addict to another, I suggest this is an episode that will change your life if you are willing to let go of the past and begin an amazing journey to freedom from active addiction.
