Just curious. What role does spirituality play in your life and your recovery? Do you believe in a higher power? Do you consider yourself religious?

I personally find myself at a junction, coming out of a really nasty relapse, lucky to be alive really. I’ve come out with nearly nothing, and many doors that were once open are no longer. But the rooms of the fellowship are always open and there’s always a place to sit, people there telling my story. They speak of this thing called a "higher powa", then they identify themselves as X years clean, no Sub, no methadone. They’re not perfect, just human.. addicts like you and I, but they’ve managed to string together significant time with no opioids.

So what’s the link between this higher power and recovery? Is there one? Do those of us in recovery who are spiritual manage to live with more balance than those of us who do not?
