Episode 103: Philosophy & Transformation

Higher power is strongly connected with the addiction field when it comes to change and recovery.  This has been described by numerous support groups in helping to achieve change from a life controlled by substance use.  Author, Dr. Peg O’Connor, talks about how philosophy helped her get and remain sober along with the struggles of the concept of higher power.  Her new book, Higher and Friendly Powers: Transforming Addiction and Suffering dives deep into the work of William James and how it relates to addiction and recovery.
