Connecting with a higher power – when should you, and why?

Addiction, Self-Help, Spirituality

Ade has been in recovery for 6 years. She joins us to discuss connecting to ‘a higher power’ – one of the steps integral to recovery. Ade shares her story of spiritual growth during recovery. What does it feel like to see yourself at the centre of the universe, with a need to control it all? Does this shift when you connect to a higher power? Does a higher power help address feelings of loneliness and worthlessness? Can you connect to a higher power if you aren’t religious? And what happens if you don’t listen to your higher power?

For our addiction of the week, we discuss the signs of workaholism.

In the news, we recommend the second Compass episode exploring eating disorders. We learn about women’s body image issues from a great ABC podcast. And we explore some of the articles at thefix.com, an online addiction and recovery resource. Is there a link between using tinder and suffering an eating disorder? Is the ‘opioid crisis’ in the U.S. exaggerated?
