No one seems able to stay sober and progress in recovery without it, though some try.
What does it take to build a strong foundation for sobriety? In this episode of 'Healing Addictions II', Fr. Christophe Lepoutre dives into the concept of Step Zero, emphasizing the crucial role of fellowship in recovery. He passionately argues that no one can maintain sobriety or make progress in their recovery journey without participating in a supportive community. According to Fr.
Christophe, the first and foremost step towards achieving lasting sobriety is to join a fellowship, find a home group, and secure a sponsor. But it’s not just about having a sponsor for guidance; it’s about learning the essence of spiritual relationships—be it fatherhood, motherhood, brotherhood, or sisterhood. Emotional and spiritual growth is at the heart of his message. He highlights the importance of prayer and spiritual practices in leading individuals towards sobriety.
With the increasing availability of online meetings, those who lack access to local gatherings can still find the support they need. Fr. Christophe encourages listeners to prioritize their recovery, to listen to their own pain and hardships, and to be willing to invest their time in getting the 'medicine' they need for sobriety. The episode wraps up with a heartfelt prayer for blessings on all listeners, making it a deeply spiritual and motivating experience.
