Today my guest is Peg O\u2019Connor, author of \u201cHigher and Friendly Powers-Transforming Addiction and Suffering\u201d. She has been sober for 34 years, holds Ph.D in philosophy, she is a professor at Gustavus Adolphus College, and a contributor to Psychology Today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We dig into the premise of her book around where the term Higher Power comes from and what it really means. Her intention is the same as mine, which is to alleviate unnecessary suffering by helping people overcome ideas that may be holding them back from solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we jump in, I want to share that I\u2019m offering a free 12 Step Workshop for Women starting January 3rd and all you have to do is join the One day at a time private women\u2019s group on Facebook!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will be a lot of challenges for Dry January – some that are quite expensive, but if you have financial constraints that put these out of reach, I got you covered. Everything is free, even the literature! I am a huge 12 step advocate because it has helped me to stay sober for over 28 years. If you\u2019re worried about the God thing, I have a way around that. If you are worried about being an \u201calcoholic\u201d, don\u2019t worry about that either! Whatever has prevented you from going through the process, I will share context and perspectives that will help you get past the barriers so that you can access a truly magical transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
