"If an addict would say, I have a major problem, I can't fix it, I need God to fix it, they will become clean."
Get ready to be moved by real-life accounts of overcoming addiction in this episode of 'Sober on Purpose'. Host Tanya Gioia welcomes Audrey and Blaine Rindlisbacher to discuss the often hidden struggles of pornography and sexual addiction. Blaine opens up about his journey from childhood through nearly four decades of addiction, revealing how a deep surrender to God and understanding the true triggers of addictive behaviour led him to freedom.
The conversation goes beyond typical solutions, diving into the spiritual roots of addiction and why traditional approaches often fall short. The couple highlights the five core triggers—fear, dishonesty, resentment, selfishness, and self-pity—that can lead to addictive behaviours and how recognising these can transform lives. Blaine's candid sharing is complemented by Audrey's supportive insights, offering a balanced perspective on how partners can navigate the challenges together.
With a touch of humour and profound honesty, this episode is a reminder that faith can be a powerful tool in reclaiming one's life from addiction. So, what are you waiting for? Tune in to find out how you can take the first step towards a life of freedom and joy.
