Awakening to Sobriety and Purpose

Something on your mind? Send Matt a text here! In this episode of My Sober Addiction, we are looking into exactly what does the term “spiritual awakening” actually mean? Do we ever become fully awakened spiritually? And what abuse, neglect and/or trauma caused us to seek some sort of refuge, and then find it in addiction in the first place? At first, the drugs seemed to be the perfect answer to everything that ever bothered us, but then very quickly they became a new kind of hell all their own. We then found ourselves searching for answers and sobriety, religion briefly seemed the perfect cure for our addictions. Then even that let us down, but not before showing us that there is something bigger than we are, something even bigger than our addictions.Hello, Spirituality! We discovered that we do have a Higher Power and that all this abuse and trauma and addiction and all the struggling with getting sober, and probably several relapses and overdoses was all preparing us for something. It was preparing us to search outside ourselves for answers but really, the answers are all inside us and have been all along. Let’s dig a little deeper and figure out what really makes us tick and what led us to this particular spiritual path, the path of spiritual awakening…ad still, what exactly IS “awakening” anyway? What’s it got to do with drugs, addiction, sobriety, religion or anything? Let’s see if we can figure it out together. Please check me out on YouTube (@MattStevensMSA) and on Substack (Matt Stevens) and subscribe, it would mean a lot and I would so very much appreciate your support. Much love and respect!Support the showVisit the MSA website at https://MySoberAddiction.comJoin the My Sober Addiction Telegram grouphttps://t.me/MySoberAddictionAlso, check out the Fasting For Change Telegram groupHttps://t.me/FastingForChangeFollow me on X https://x.com/@MattStevensMSACheck out my YouTube channel https://youtube.com/MattStevensMSAJoin the WhatsApp group! https://chat.whatsapp.com/GqNlxLA7WPVGHnZjzgGjTAIf you like the music you can check out Fixate on BandCamp here at: fixatelex.bandcamp.com
