Disclaimer: This episode contains topics not suited for tender ears. You might want to put on your headphones for this one. In this episode we talk to Randy Fahrbach, a good friend of ours who has been sober for 24 years. We go through his path towards recovery and talk about the spirituality of the twelve steps. There’s a lot to unpack about the twelve steps that can help anybody in their walk of faith, especially if we look at it through our Catholic faith’s lens.---------- Show Notes ----------0:00 Intro1:58 Randy’s bio6:28 Twelve steps intro7:55 Uncovering and discarding our humanness10.25 AA Catholic roots11:58 First step12:20 Second step13:38 Pain is the touchstone of all growth14:16 Third step16:36 Moment by moment19:00 Harm reduction programs20:38 Fourth/Fifth step24:08 How to not relive something in your moral inventory26:00 Sixth/Seventh step30:08 Eight/Ninth step35:35 Tenth step37:03 Eleventh step46:00 Twelfth step50:40 What can someone do today to start their journey towards recovery?51:40 Wrap up---------- Links ----------http://www.11thstepmeditation.orgSpiritStep One https://open.spotify.com/album/19WLGcz5wwJ17CBrZbg0f1?si=UWPzpq1ZRMW_Dcdzkc-aXg&utm_source=copy-linkSpiritStep Two https://open.spotify.com/album/668Rw5NsonDMxQqdmJq0Km?si=hNwOD728QKKhLoidWp9Akw&utm_source=copy-link
