When the pain is greater than my fear of changing, my fear of shame, my feel of embarrassment, my fear of, oh, they're going to know what I'm struggling with, when you're at that point...I had to get well, I had to get better, I had to get out of it and by God's grace, I was able to talk.
What happens when your pain outweighs your fears? In this episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast', host Duane Osterlind sits down with Recovery Pastor Craig Brown, who shares his compelling journey from a troubled past to finding freedom through Christ-centered recovery. Growing up in an abusive and dysfunctional family, Craig felt immense pressure to uphold a facade for his pastor father, which led him down a path of partying and drug use as an escape.
But it was hitting rock bottom that made him realize he needed a change. Craig talks about peeling away layers of pain, shame, and guilt to find true healing and acceptance within a supportive church community. He emphasizes that recovery isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about restoring the soul. This episode sheds light on the often-overlooked spiritual aspects of recovery and the power of surrendering to a higher purpose.
Craig also dispels common myths about addiction recovery, highlighting that it's not a selfish journey but one that involves connection, understanding, and community support. If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on how spirituality can aid in the recovery process, this episode offers valuable insights and hope.
