Tao of Our understanding Alcohol Recovery Podcast
Religion & Spirituality:Buddhism
Izzy approaches the Higher Power from a slightly different perspective from a strong Orthodox Jewish heritage. I hope you enjoy Izzy's story!
We are taking a break from the weekly group meeting and interviewing some past participants, Facebook group members, and a few authors. If your recovery has been enhanced by Taoist text, don't hesitate to contact us and share your experience!
Here are some of the questions we tackle;
1. Background; Where from, vocation, family, a picture of your life then and now.
2. Has your view of the H.P. changed since you started your recovery journey? How similar is your present H.P. to the one you grew up with?
3. Why does the Tao speak to you? How do you see your relationship with the Tao? What is the Tao to you?
4. Do you have a favorite Tao verse or quote?
5. Do you recommend any Tao podcasts other than this one?
6. Any Tao-related books or devotionals?
