In this solo monologue, Dallas Bragg reflects on his seven‑year meth‑free recovery, challenging conventional notions of a "higher power" by framing it as an ever‑present force whose assistance is mediated by personal free will. He emphasizes self‑empowerment, warning that many in early recovery experience a dopamine drop and ensuing boredom. To counter this, Bragg advises latching onto a compelling vision, project, mission, or cause that provides purpose beyond the self. He describes the recovery process as a symbolic death of the old self followed by a rebirth, urging listeners to actively choose the conditions under which the higher power aids them.

But listen, this higher power isn't something that helps a poor, powerless wretch like me. This isn't the higher power you may hear of that gets all the credit because I'm some broken, defective loser. This is a higher power that is always there, but my free will allows when and how much of that higher power assists me. So I mentioned that to inspire some self-empowerment out there. You don't have to have a spiritual experience like this. But my guess is that you will face a dopamine drop and get bored in recovery like I did. The way out is to, again, latch onto something, a vision, a project, a mission, a cause that moves you forward, that gives you purpose and meaning beyond yourself. Everything about your old life and everything about you must die and be reborn.
