'The Promises' of 12-Step - A New Freedom and a New Happiness Through the Lense of Recover Your Soul

These promises were a seed planted in me by my neighbor years before I was ready for true Soul Recovery- but they spoke to what I wanted so desperately in my life and offered me a life line to what I could have if I was ready to do the work.  6 years later, I have indeed found a new freedom and a new happiness through Soul Recovery- and sobriety, and I am grateful. The episode ends with a song I wrote about this journey- if you want to watch the music video check the Recover Your Soul YouTube page For more information about Rev.

We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness.We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. We will comprehend the wordserenity and we will know peace. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, wewill see how our experience can benefit others. That feeling of uselessness and self-pitywill disappear. We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows. Selfseeking will slip away. Our whole attitude and outlook on life will change. Fear of peopleand economic insecurity will leave us. We will intuitively know how to handle situationswhich used to baffle us. We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we couldnot do for ourselves.Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled among us -sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them. Send a one way text to Rev Rachel 🦋Recover Your Soul Immersion Retreat | October 17–18Join me for two days to go deeper into the Recover Your Soul Process.
