Stepping Forward: My Journey of Recovery Through Al-Anon & Beyond

Mike Smith

I am not an alcoholic, but I am an addict. I am addicted to controlling others, codependency, and the effects of alcoholism. I am in recovery. I share my journey to be a better version of myself, and hopefully helping others along the way. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mike-smith30/support read less

Hello, My name is Mike and I've Come to Believe that a Power Greater Than Myself Can Restore Me to Sanity
In this episode, I look at Step 2 of the Al-Anon 12-Step program by examining my relationship with my Higher Power. I have seen so many signs of my Higher Power at work for me lately, even in the face of adversity, sadness, and pain. Like a sailboat that a storm has wrecked, sunk, and washed onto the shore, I have had my Higher Power be the salvage vessel coming in and salvaging me so I can sail again. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mike-smith30/support
