Episode Overview
- Gratitude is a key marker of transformation in addiction recovery.
- Addiction is viewed as a sin nature problem rather than a disease.
- Embracing thankfulness can lead to significant personal growth.
- Biblical teachings provide guidance on cultivating gratitude.
- Creating a gratitude list can help focus on positive aspects of life.
When we're not grateful, we are looking at what we don't have... which is kind of ironic because it's invisible.
Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on gratitude, and in this episode of The Addiction Connection Podcast, Dr. Mark E. Shaw dives into the importance of thankfulness for those recovering from addiction. Shaw, along with co-hosts CJ McMurry and Jim Quigley, shares his personal experiences and biblical teachings on how gratitude can be a marker of transformation in one's recovery journey.
Shaw emphasises that addiction is not a disease but a sin nature problem, and through the lens of Christianity, he discusses how embracing gratitude can lead to significant personal growth and healing. The episode features readings from Shaw's book, 'The Heart of Addiction', specifically focusing on the appendix dedicated to gratitude and thankfulness. Shaw's candid reflections on his own struggles with gratitude, humorous anecdotes about Thanksgiving traditions, and heartfelt advice make this episode both engaging and enlightening.
If you're looking for a fresh perspective on addiction recovery through the power of gratitude, this episode is a must-listen. Why not take a moment to consider what you're thankful for today?
