You were created with a purpose and a plan for God by God, and you're not a carbon copy of someone else.
Feeling lost in the chaos of addiction can make you question who you really are. In this episode of '99Relapses', Christian recovery coach James Egidio dives into the complex relationship between identity and addiction. He explores how addiction can warp your sense of self, making you rely on societal standards rather than embracing your identity as a 'Child of God'.
James breaks down how secular views on identity—often tied to status, money, and power—can lead to a distorted self-image and fuel addictive behaviors. On the flip side, he emphasizes the importance of seeing yourself through God's eyes, which offers a path to true recovery and self-acceptance. Throughout the episode, James underscores the importance of intimate communication with God, highlighting how prayer and scripture can guide you back to your true self.
He also touches on the vital role of forgiveness, both from God and yourself, in overcoming guilt and avoiding relapse. If you're seeking a fresh perspective on addiction recovery rooted in faith, this episode is a must-listen. Discover how embracing your unique identity in God's love can set you on the path to lasting recovery.
