"Forgiveness begins with a decision."
How do individuals turn their lives around after addiction? In this episode of 'Healing Addictions', Fr. Christophe Lepoutre shares profound reflections on the child-like nature of the human soul and how it plays a crucial role in addiction recovery. Drawing from Orthodox theology, he highlights the importance of communion with the divine as a pathway to healing. Fr.

He emphasises that true healing starts with a decision to forgive, a choice that aligns with Christ's teachings.
