Episode 186--What Addiction Taught Me About God with Nancy Rothman

What can addiction teach us about God? In this powerful conversation, Radha sits down with Nancy Rothman to explore her remarkable journey from alcoholism to a life of recovery, service, and deep spiritual practice. Nancy shares how the 12-Step recovery program became the foundation for discovering a personal relationship with God and, ultimately, the teachings of the Bhagavad-gītā and bhakti-yoga. Together, they explore surrender, spiritual awakening, authenticity, forgiveness, and why true recovery is about so much more than overcoming addiction. Whether you've struggled with addiction yourself, love someone who has, or simply long for a deeper connection with God, this conversation offers hope, wisdom, and practical insights for everyday life. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why addiction is often a symptom, not the root problem • The surprising parallels between the 12 Steps and the Bhagavad-gītā • What spiritual awakening really looks like • How serving others transforms our own lives • Why we're all recovering from something 🙏 If this conversation inspired you, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone who could benefit from hearing Nancy's story. 🎙️ Gita in Action Podcast Ancient wisdom.
