What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? This episode sheds light on the concept of community, especially within the Church and the Holy Trinity. Fr. Joseph Collins and Fr. Michael Marcantoni explore how addiction is a disease of isolation that disrupts human existence. They argue that encountering God in the Church restores community, but a sincere life of repentance is necessary. Fr. Michael shares his excitement about new initiatives at St.
John Chrysostom Greek Orthodox Church, highlighting the importance of community's common purpose and life. The hosts discuss how community exists in various forms—from local groups like rotary clubs to church communities that straddle human and divine spheres. They emphasise that true community involves unity and diversity, akin to the Holy Trinity. The episode also delves into how addiction isolates individuals, both chemically and emotionally, and the importance of rigorous honesty in recovery. Fr. Joseph and Fr.
Michael stress that both recovery and church communities offer a common solution to common problems, whether it's addiction or sin. Their conversation is filled with anecdotes, humour, and deep reflections on how community can transform lives. So, what role does community play in your journey to sobriety?
