September marks National Recovery Month, but for the hosts of The Addiction Connection Podcast, it's dubbed National Transformation Month. In this episode, Dr. Mark E. Shaw, CJ McMurry, and Jim Quigley sit down with Larry Ganchow to share a compelling testimony of transformation through faith. Larry recounts his journey from suburban Milwaukee, where casual drinking and cannabis use turned into a life dominated by addiction.
He talks about the seductive grip substances had on him, likening it to a spell-binding potion that led him down a dark path of drug dealing and substance abuse. However, Larry's story takes a pivotal turn when he encounters a moment of crisis involving a SWAT team raid. This life-altering event prompted him to seek sobriety and ultimately led him to a deeper understanding of faith and recovery.
Larry candidly discusses the challenges he faced within traditional recovery programs and how biblical counselling offered him a more profound path to sobriety. He also touches on his current work with Rain and Grace, where he helps others overcome addiction and even addresses issues like pornography addiction, highlighting the importance of progressive sanctification. The episode is filled with heartfelt moments and practical advice for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is.
By sharing his raw and honest journey, Larry offers hope and inspiration, reminding us that true transformation is possible through faith.
