- Taking personal responsibility is key to recovery.
- Letting go of blame can aid emotional and spiritual growth.

Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? This episode of 'Healing Addictions' offers a unique blend of spiritual wisdom and practical advice for those grappling with addiction and codependency. Fr. Christophe Lepoutre, an Orthodox priest and psychotherapist, shares his insights on the fourth and fifth steps of the 12-step recovery process, emphasising the importance of confession and taking personal responsibility.
He explores how the Orthodox Church's teachings can enrich traditional recovery methods, focusing on the healing power of admitting one's faults and letting go of blame. Fr. Christophe discusses how deep-rooted patterns of blame and resentment can hinder recovery, drawing parallels with Biblical stories like the prodigal son. His approach combines rigorous self-examination with spiritual practices, encouraging listeners to embrace humility and seek forgiveness through confession.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that healing requires courage, faith, and a willingness to face one's own darkness. So, are you ready to examine your own moral inventory and take that step towards healing?
