Shane F.'s Path to Forgiveness and Sobriety: Daily Reflection Podcast #156
Life itself is the journey. I was literally a double agent, out in the town most of the time and then, of course, performing the best that I could around the house as a father and as a husband, as a friend to others and I would say, of the time I was self-consumed and living an alternative lifestyle.
Have you ever wondered how forgiveness can transform your life? In this episode of the Daily Reflection Podcast, Shane F. from Great Falls, VA, shares his heartfelt journey of finding forgiveness and achieving sobriety. Growing up in a Catholic family and attending a Jesuit college, Shane struggled with living a double life and faced anxiety attacks. Despite financial success, he felt consumed by an alternative lifestyle that didn't align with his true self.
His prayers often left out the very things he needed to be forgiven for, hoping that omission would keep them hidden.
