Hey there, friend! It's Lisa here, and I'm thrilled to have you back for another enlightening episode of A Shot Glass of Recovery. Today, we're diving headfirst into Step Two, right from the pages of the 12 and 12, after wrapping up with Step One in our last get-together. So, grab your copy, grab a pen, a highlighter, and let's dissect it together!

In tonight's episode, we delve into the complexities of Step Two: "Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity." For many newcomers, this step brings about an intense internal dilemma - you're not alone if the thought of a higher power feels like a daunting leap. I share my own initial skepticism and the preconceived notions that challenged me.

You'll hear engaging discussions about God, spirituality, and the difference between those who "cannot" and those who are "will-nots" - a conversation that's both eye-opening and relatable for so many of us in recovery. And as we navigate these complex emotions, stories shared by the group highlight the tremendous transformation that comes with openness and willingness to change.

Whether you're questioning faith, have lost it, or are discovering it anew, this episode is packed with real, raw experiences from others who've been right where you are. We explore how different paths to faith can look and feel, how some have found new strength in old beliefs or reshaped their idea of a higher power entirely.

So tune in, pour yourself your favorite drink (non-alcoholic, of course!), and let's embark on this journey of self-discovery together. It's okay to question, to doubt, and to find your own path. Remember, all you need is a truly open mind. Thanks for being here, and let's continue to grow in recovery together!
