The Essence of Recovery Step Eleven - Silence


Listen Later

Text and Be Heard

Quiet isn’t empty space; it’s the room where your next right move becomes clear. We dig into Step 11 with a practical lens—how prayer and meditation actually work when you strip away the noise, schedule real silence, and let your nervous system settle. Along the way we share simple rituals that compound: a weekly retreat hour in a chapel or park, a slow walk under trees, exercise or movement, and even the everyday magic of walking your dog for a hit of oxytocin and a reset of focus.

You will hear why church services can inspire but rarely deliver deep quiet, and how pairing Step 10’s scheduling with Step 11’s stillness turns intentions into routines that stick. We talk neuroplasticity in plain terms—natural dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin and endorphins stabilize when you unplug—and why silence sharpens discernment around work, relationships, and recovery choices. Nature plays a starring role: lakes, tall trees, and open sky reduce mental clutter and restore attention. Comfortable quiet with people you trust also matters; sometimes the strongest bond is sharing a meal without needing to fill the air.

If you’re starting recovery on your own or looking to strengthen it, this conversation gives you a simple framework: pray to frame the question, meditate to clear the channel, then sit in silence long enough to hear guidance. Track small wins with the Free Recovery Growth Scorecard, breathe on purpose to lower anxiety, and let daily walks become your moving meditation. When you’re ready to decide—keep going or pivot—you’ll have the calm and clarity to choose well.
