In this compelling episode of the Faith Over Addiction Podcast, host Tanya Gioia engages in a heartfelt conversation with Ryan Reichert, a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel and author. Ryan opens up about his transformative journey from battling a long-standing addiction to embracing a life of honesty and faith. With brutal honesty, he discusses the challenges he faced, including the weight of generational curses and the destructive nature of perfectionism.
Ryan's drinking problem began at the tender age of 12, spiraling into a 33-year struggle that impacted both his personal and professional life. Despite a successful military and corporate career, Ryan found himself trapped in a cycle of fear and lies, unable to break free until he confronted the truth within himself. His story is one of resilience and redemption, offering hope to those grappling with similar challenges.
The conversation explores the concept of the 'devil inside,' a metaphor for the lies we tell ourselves that gradually consume us. Ryan emphasizes the importance of honesty, likening it to plugging the God-sized hole within us that grows with deceit. He shares how embracing truth has allowed him to reclaim his life and find peace, joy, and strength in his faith. Tanya and Ryan delve into the significance of setting healthy boundaries, a crucial step in overcoming addiction's chaos.
They discuss how these boundaries, coupled with God's promises, can help individuals create safe, loving spaces for healing and restoration. Ryan's experience highlights the power of faith in transforming lives, not only for oneself but for families and communities. Listeners are encouraged to rise up, embrace their worth in God's kingdom, and reclaim what addiction has stolen—peace, joy, and a hopeful future.
Through Ryan's inspiring story and Tanya's supportive guidance, this episode offers valuable insights into the journey of recovery, rooted in spirituality and truth. As the episode concludes, Tanya invites listeners to share the episode with those who might benefit from its message, fostering a ripple effect of hope and healing. She encourages listeners to explore their God-given identity and create nurturing environments for themselves and their loved ones.
The conversation is a powerful reminder that faith, honesty, and community are essential components in the path to recovery and lasting change.
