Welcome back to the "Awake and Sober Podcast," where we dive deep into life and recovery through Christ. After a brief hiatus, the band is back together to share stories, insights, and gratitude for our sponsors, Tactile Turn and Country Design. Join us as we catch up on recent events, discuss vacations, and reflect on the importance of faith in our recovery journeys.
In this episode, we explore the transformative power of Step 11, prayer and meditation in our lives. We share personal experiences on how our belief in a higher power has evolved since starting our recovery journeys. The conversation touches on the importance of relinquishing control, the role of acceptance, and how meditation connects us to God.
Listen in as we discuss the challenges of discussing faith with skeptics, the impact of loss on our spiritual growth, and the ripple effects of God's plans in our lives. We also delve into the significance of scripture in guiding our daily actions and decisions.
Whether you're in recovery, seeking spiritual growth, or simply looking for inspiration, this episode offers a heartfelt and honest look at the journey of faith and sobriety.

A mainstay of our recovery stories is being completely honest with our support teams but, most importantly, honest with ourselves. How do we do that?
The answer is simple: we journal about our experiences, ideas, and goals. If you are anything like us, that means you journal A LOT and take a bunch of notes, so don't you deserve a great writing instrument?
We think you do, and so does the sponsor of the Awake and Sober Podcast Tactile Turn. If you have yet to use a Tactile Turn pen, let's be honest: are you even writing?!?
