Listen "Unmasking the Mystery: From “Why” to “How”"

Episode Synopsis

I tend to chase the question “why?” rather than “how do I adapt, accept, and move forward despite?”  Why did I have a stroke? Why am I an alcoholic? Why me? But my recovery program teaches me that the why isn’t mine to solve. The “why” belongs to God. My work is in the “how”. How do I move forward? How do I let go? How do I accept the difficult stuff? When I shift from demanding answers to taking action, I find freedom from denial.Alcohol gave me an illusion of control, offering temporary relief while dry rotting the strings that held me together. Today, I find strength by surrendering to “Thy will, not mine.” Isn’t that weird? I find STRENGTH in SURRENDERING. 🤪I will likely always be chasing the mystery of “why” around every turn in my life, like a Scooby-Doo rerun. But daily maintenance of my spiritual condition lets me uncover the “how” that guides my next step forward.Listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and YouTube. Rather listen on Apple Podcasts? https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/recovery-daily-podcast/id1693924779 Visit my Etsy shop, and join my creative journey at Recovery Upcycling. https://www.etsy.com/shop/RecoveryUpcycling To learn more about vestibular disorders visit https://vestibular.org #RecoveryJourney #StrokeSurvivor #AlcoholismRecovery #FaithInRecovery #LetGoAndLetGod #StrengthInSurrender #SpiritualGrowth #AcceptanceAndAction #OneDayAtATime #FreedomThroughFaith
