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

Recover Your Soul: A Spiritual Path to a Happy and Healthy Life

Send Rev Rachel a Text Message and let her know how Soul Recovery is working in your life.

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

and economic insecurity will leave us. We will intuitively know how to handle situations
which used to baffle us. We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could
not do for ourselves.
