Podcast Overview

Welcome to Having Had a Spiritual Awakening, the podcast by and for those on the profound journey of Twelve-Step recovery. If you’ve diligently worked the Steps – whether in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Al-Anon Family Groups, Marijuana Anonymous (MA), or other Twelve-Step fellowships – and experienced that transformative ”psychic change” – that fundamental shift in your perception and reaction to life – this podcast is for you. We delve into the spiritual awakening described in the Twelfth Step, exploring what it truly means to be relieved of the compulsion and obsession that once held us captive. This isn’t about theory; it’s about the lived experience of a new state of consciousness and being that results from taking rigorous action through the Steps. Join us as we share stories, insights, and reflections on the practical application of spiritual principles in our daily lives, regardless of your specific fellowship. From navigating newfound freedom to embracing the ongoing process of growth, Having Had a Spiritual Awakening provides a space for fellowship, understanding, and the continuing exploration of a life transformed. Tune in to connect with others who are walking this path, demonstrating that a spiritual awakening is not just a moment, but a new way of living.

We Talk to Don

Don reflects on what it was like to navigate relationships for the first time under the guidance of a trusted sponsor and the lessons he learned along the way. Today, Don serves as the Executive Director of NARSS (Never Alone Recovery Support Services), a thriving, life-saving Recovery Community Center in Ronan, Montana for individuals and families affected by addiction. Together they explore why long-term, community-based recovery matters and how ongoing connection and support are essential.

We Talk to Kristal & Matt

What happens after you get sober… and your mind doesn’t? In this episode, Suzanne and Sarah sit down with Kristal and Matt to talk about when you’ve got some sober time under your belt, but your obsessive nature starts popping up in new ways, like a relentless game of whac-a-mole. From control and perfectionism to new flavors of ego and fear, the conversation explores how character defects sometimes don’t disappear—they just change. And more importantly, what we can actually do about it. Hosted & Written by Suzanne Garcia Pino Co-Hosted & Produced by Sarah Grobel Bolstad Music: I'll Tell You by Sarah Grobel Bolstad & Ian Ford A candid, low-key conversation about what happens after the last substance: obsession, loneliness, and the surprising spiritual work of recovery.
