Addiction is defeated, and only defeated, by fully surrendering to Jesus Christ.
Ever told yourself, 'I can handle it' or 'I can stop anytime,' only to find yourself relapsing? In this thought-provoking episode of '99Relapses', Christian recovery coach James Egidio sheds light on why willpower alone isn't enough to break the chains of addiction. James argues that true recovery comes from fully surrendering to Jesus Christ. He dives into how our attention gets distorted in addiction, leading us back to old habits.
You’ll hear about the amusing yet dangerous nature of attraction and aversion addictions and why burying minor addictions often sets the stage for relapse. James also emphasizes the importance of healthy support systems and the ongoing battle between our spiritual and sinful natures. The episode wraps up with practical advice on giving God full control of your life instead of chasing worldly possessions.
If you're seeking a faith-based approach to recovery, this episode offers both spiritual and practical guidance to help you on your journey.
