Finding Faith and Recovery: Crafting Your Journey with Matt and Sheri Salis
“I don't believe alcoholism is a spiritual problem. I believe it is a brain disease. My faith helps me, but it is not required for permanent sobriety.”
Matt and Sheri Salis bring a unique perspective to the table in this episode of the Untoxicated Podcast. Matt, a devout Christian, opens up about his belief that alcoholism is a brain disease rather than a spiritual issue. While his faith plays a significant role in his life, he emphasizes that it isn't a prerequisite for achieving lasting sobriety.
This episode dives deep into the practical tools essential for recovery, shedding light on the importance of overcoming shame and fear when revealing one's struggle with alcoholism. Matt shares his own experience of sending a 'coming out' letter about his alcoholism—a pivotal moment in his journey that he describes as the best day of his life. The discussion also touches on the value of connection, patience, and bibliotherapy in recovery.
With heartfelt anecdotes and actionable advice, Matt and Sheri offer listeners a blend of spiritual insight and practical guidance, encouraging them to live authentically and embrace their path to sobriety.
