We are learning to give up on our own will, which the fathers teach and that has been affected by sin and is in a state of darkness, is perverted if you would or ill. And so we also can come to terms with the fact that, even if there isn't a principal addiction involved, or even after one experiences a level of recovery, beginning with physical sobriety and freedom from turning to a substance, there is the need right to root out the sources of that addiction in the first place.
What’s the secret behind the success of the 12-Step Recovery Movement? Fr. Christophe Lepoutre takes you back to the origins of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and its transformative principles. In this episode, he delves into the cornerstone of the 12-Step program: surrendering to a higher power. Fr. Christophe doesn't just talk about giving up control; he explains why reaching rock bottom can be a pivotal moment for those battling addiction, betrayal, and disillusionment.
He also explores how orthodox psychotherapy and spiritual practices can guide you toward emotional and spiritual sobriety. If you’ve ever wondered how prayer and divine grace fit into the recovery puzzle, this episode offers profound insights. Fr. Christophe also highlights the benefits of joining The Fellowship of the Inexhaustible Cup, a support group that combines community and spiritual intercession to aid in recovery.
Whether you're new to the concept of the 12 Steps or seeking deeper understanding, this episode promises a blend of historical context and practical wisdom. Tune in to discover how ancient spiritual practices can offer modern solutions for addiction recovery.
