through the veil : unmasking the blindspots

S4 Ep 041 - Through the Veil: Unmasking Blind Spots on the Recovery Journey

Have you ever found yourself needing to change lanes on a 4 lane highway and you look around and check your mirrors and you don't see another vehicle around so you go ahead and start drifting over only to be confronted with the surprise honk of another vehicle coming up on your side? That vehicle had been there the whole time, hiding in your blind spot.

Those of us in recovery can get blind spots too, and it's just as dangerous as crossing over onto another vehicle on a highway. Because for us, blind spots in our recovery usually means we are heading for a relapse.

Today, we're diving deep into the blind spots in recovery, guided by the wisdom and teachings found in the Scriptures. We all have blind spots—those areas of our lives that we're unaware of or struggle to see clearly. In the context of recovery, blind spots can be significant obstacles on our journey to wholeness. Just as Blind spots are often hidden from our own view, and it takes divine revelation and self-reflection to recognize and address them. So buckle up, put on your blinker as we go through the veil : unmasking blind spots on the recovery journey.
