Surrender might seem counterintuitive on the road to freedom, yet it's exactly what unlocked true transformation for us. This intimate conversation explores the powerful shift that happens when we finally stop trying to control everything around us.
"I wanted to control every aspect of my life, and probably yours as well," we candidly admit, reflecting on how exhausting this pattern becomes. The breakthrough? Realizing "we have no control over people, places and things," and that life flows with remarkable ease once we release our grip on outcomes.
Our spiritual journeys took vastly different paths—one through traditional prayer practices, another through nature connection and what's affectionately called "hippie stuff." These divergent routes ultimately led to the same profound revelation: something greater than ourselves exists, and surrendering to this force brings unexpected peace. We share vulnerable stories, including a mysterious woodpecker encounter that arrived precisely when needed, serving as a spiritual guide through difficult moments.
The conversation takes a powerful turn when we discuss the stigma men face around spirituality. How does a six-foot, tattooed man embrace meditation and prayer in a culture that often views such practices as weakness? The answer involves courage, authenticity, and becoming willing to stand in your truth regardless of perception—a transformation that extends far beyond sobriety into every relationship.
Perhaps most meaningful is how we've become people others can truly count on. "When you say you're going to do something, I don't have to question that it will happen," represents recovery's profound gift—reliability, trustworthiness, and genuine presence. This isn't just about not drinking or using; it's about becoming who we were always meant to be.
Have you found yourself exhausted from trying to control everything? What might happen if you finally surrendered and let something greater than yourself take the wheel?
