In the 12-Step Program, they talk about having a "bottoming out" experience. A moment when you realize that what you've been doing isn't working anymore. Nobody wants to hit the bottom. But often times that's where the breakthrough begins. #Jesus #12StepProgram #Catholic

What if powerlessness isn’t weakness—but the beginning of true strength? On @hubermanlab, Ryan Soave of @guardianrcvry breaks down one of the most misunderstood concepts in recovery: powerlessness. Movies love to portray 12-step meetings as dark circles in church basements, all about not drinking “just for today.” But that’s not the full story. ✅ The 12 steps aren’t about alcohol—they’re a design for living. ✅ Powerlessness isn’t defeat—it’s clarity. When we name where we’re powerless, we stop fighting unwinnable battles. And that’s when we find real power—through structure, support, and a new way of living. ----- 🎧 Full episode available now at hubermanlab.com and on all podcast platforms. 🔗 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… 🌀 For more tools, visit ryansoave.com 🌀 For immediate support, visit guardianrecovery.com #GuardianRecovery #RyanSoave #HubermanLab #12StepProgram #AddictionRecovery #Powerlessness #HealingJourney #MentalHealthMatters #FeelToHeal #RecoverySupport #TraumaInformedCare

Zach Leary (@zachleary) is a teacher, speaker, writer, and spiritual explorer with one of the most iconic legacies in psychedelic history—being the son of Timothy Leary. But our conversation goes far beyond lineage. 🔗 Listen now: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… Zach and I dive into his personal story of addiction, homelessness, and recovery, as well as the spiritual awakening that helped him reframe his life through the teachings of Ram Dass and his own lived experience with psychedelics. We examine the deeper meaning of surrender, how psychedelics intersect with the 12-Step path, and the modern resurgence of mind-altering medicine as both a healing tool and cultural movement. From DMT journeys to divine amends, this episode is a vulnerable exploration of what it means to truly change. 🎙 (00:00:00) Recovery, Relapse, and Finding Grace 🎙 (00:07:00) Growing Up Leary: Identity, Grief, and the Shadow of Legacy 🎙 (00:14:00) Ram Dass, Death, and the Illusion of Separation 🎙 (00:22:00) LSD, AA, and the Forgotten Psychedelic Origins of Recovery 🎙 (00:32:00) Psychedelics & the Limits of the Waking Mind 🎙 (00:41:00) Ritual, Setting, and the Power of Safe Ceremony 🎙 (00:50:00) The Individual vs. Collective Healing Debate 🎙 (01:00:00) Cultural Integration, Psychedelics, & the Western Dilemma 🎙 (01:10:00) Addiction, Recovery, and the Spiritual Practice of Being of Service 🎙 (01:18:00) Self-Love, Dharma, and Seeing Through the Illusion 🔗 lukestorey.com/zachleary #TheLifeStylist #LukeStorey #12stepprogram #timothyleary

I have learned that resentments are most fierce and debilitating, when wrongs were inflicted upon your children. Wrongs that naturally create justifiable anger. This fact is a danger zone for me. Right or wrong, this has been my experience. It is an emotional roller coaster. One moment, you seek vengeance. The next moment, you work the program and make feeble attempts to find forgiveness. This has been my experience right or wrong. #RecoveryPosse #resentments #12stepprogram
