The central fact of our lives today is the absolute certainty that our Creator has entered into our hearts and lives in a way which is indeed miraculous.
The Hope Recovery Podcast, hosted by Greg Schmalhofer, takes a unique approach to tackling alcohol and drug addiction by intertwining faith and recovery. In this episode, titled 'The Biggest Advocates of Faith-Based Recovery', Greg explores the unexpected champions of faith-based recovery - the books of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA), along with the Twelve Steps.
You might be surprised to hear that these resources, though not explicitly tied to any church or the Bible, heavily reference God and spiritual experiences as pivotal to recovery success. Greg shares powerful quotes from AA and NA texts, highlighting their emphasis on a higher power and the transformative role of spirituality in overcoming addiction. For instance, he reads from AA's 'There Is a Solution', which talks about deep spiritual experiences revolutionising lives and attitudes.
Similarly, NA's 'More Will Be Revealed' chapter underscores the importance of letting God guide one's recovery journey. Greg passionately argues that these texts are indeed advocates of faith-based recovery, encouraging listeners to seek their own spiritual experiences with God. He also ties in biblical references, such as John 10:10 and John 3:16, to reinforce the message of hope and transformation through faith.
By the end of the episode, Greg urges you to consider incorporating a spiritual perspective into your recovery process, suggesting that faith in God can lead to not only successful recovery but also a dramatically changed life. If you're curious about how spirituality can aid in your recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen.
