Step 2: Came to Believe That a Power Greater Than Ourselves Could Restore Us to SanityStep 2 is where recovery gets spiritual—or at least tries to. We explore what it means to believe that something bigger than yourself can help restore you to sanity, and why that's both terrifying and necessary when you're crawling out of addiction.This episode tackles finding a higher power that works for you (religious or not), the difference between government-issued "thoughts and prayers" hope versus real transformative hope, and why coming back from homelessness gives you a front-row seat to watch society eat itself alive.Featuring: Brutal honesty, dark humor, a satirical ad for HOPE™, and thoughts on why recovery and social critique go hand-in-hand.Disclaimer: Not medical advice. Not therapy. Just one person's chaotic journey through the 12 Steps. Get real help from real professionals.
