If we are not keeping denial in check by keeping it in a positive mode, then we will end up drowning in the river of negative denial.
Denial can be a sneaky companion on the road to recovery, and in this episode of The Recovery Pastor Podcast, Shan dives into its complexities. Shan, known as the Recovery Pastor, shares how denial can lead us astray if we don't keep it in check. She paints a vivid picture of denial as a 'rip current' that can pull us away from reality and our recovery goals. But it's not all doom and gloom.
Shan also highlights the positive side of denial, like denying ourselves harmful habits and focusing on spiritual growth instead. In her heartfelt conversation, Shan emphasizes the importance of recognizing our weaknesses and struggles. She encourages listeners to 'pick up our cross' and work on these areas with faith and determination. Prayer and gratitude are powerful allies in this journey, helping us stay grounded and avoid the pitfalls of negative denial.
Shan also takes a moment to remind us to pray for those who have supported us through thick and thin. Addiction, as she points out, is anything we do in excess, and it can deeply impact our lives. However, with faith, prayer, and the right mindset, overcoming these challenges is possible. Whether you're battling addiction or simply seeking spiritual guidance, this episode offers a blend of practical advice and heartfelt encouragement.
Tune in to learn how to steer clear of the river of denial and stay on the path to recovery with Shan's wisdom and compassion.
