Being an addict has been a hard journey. Having addicted children has been painful too. Al-Anon and Soul Recovery have taught me to turn the attention to myself and to focus on my personal recovery, and allow those around me to have their own experience.
This episode is a conversation with my youngest adult Son, Bodhi Harrison. It was so great to have him in town and I wanted to sit down and have him share what is going on in his life and his Soul Recovery. The first half of the episode is about his current spiritual journey and connection to Higher Power as he understands it. The second half of the episode is a conversation about where he is currently in his addiction and his relationship with drinking and smoking pot, the choices he is making in his life at 23 years old, and trying to find life balance. It is an honest and vulnerable conversation about a young person trying to make sense of a complex adult life.
If you want to learn more about Bodhi and see him on the Onewheel check him out on his Instagram @Bodhiharrison or with The Float Life where he is the Marketing Director and Rider on their YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/TheFloatLife

Releasing Blame for Others and Ourselves in Soul Recovery
Send one way text to Rev Rachel
Blame has two sides- the side where we blame others for our lives, and wanting them to be different for us to be happy. The other is blaming ourselves for how other people's lives are or have turning out. Both sides of the blame coin can rob us from being happy because we are allowing the need for control to get in the way. Soul Recovery is about learning to turn the attention to ourselves and our personal Soul Recovery- letting go of both sides of blame and finding peace in ourselves and in our relationships.

It is as I Choose to See it- Learning to Change Perception
Send one way text to Rev Rachel
In Soul Recovery we turn the attention to our selves knowing that with inner change- outer change in our lives will follow. In a moment of stress recently, I asked Higher Power to help me see the situation differently. The words that came to me were... "It is as I choose to see it." This was clearly a foundational message of Soul Recovery. We can choose how we are going to see the world around us. Will you choose Love or Fear.
