About this episode

A spiritual approach to sobriety can help you see your alcohol-free life as something deeper than simply putting down the bottle. In this episode, you’re invited into the first part of Becca’s look at Ralph Waldo Trine’s In Tune With the Infinite, a 1897 book about inner life, connection, peace, and the power of our thoughts.

You’ll hear why Becca believes the best chapter of your life isn’t about struggling harder against alcohol. It’s about learning to respond to life differently—and discovering the emotional and spiritual resources that have been there all along.

Together, you’ll explore Trine’s idea that we’re connected to something larger than ourselves, along with Becca’s favorite ocean-and-cup analogy for making that idea feel a little more tangible.

No need to check your spirituality at the door. Bring your curiosity, take a deep breath, and see what happens when you imagine building your next chapter from the inside out.
