Real Change: Finding Hope Beyond New Year's Resolutions

Episode Overview

  • Real change requires action, not just a new year.
  • Finding Hope support groups offer community and understanding.
  • Overcoming shame and guilt is crucial in recovery.
  • Spiritual guidance can be a powerful tool in recovery.
  • Taking the first step is the hardest but most important part.
A new year doesn't make a new you – real change happens when you let an eternal God take over, and He changes how you live.
Amy LaRue and Darcie Stevens kick off the new year with a heartfelt discussion about what it really takes to make a change in your life, especially when dealing with addiction.

Amy and Darcie reflect on their own journeys and the struggles they've faced while supporting loved ones through addiction.
They share personal stories of how they found hope and community through the Finding Hope support groups. The episode is packed with practical advice and encouragement for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of addiction, whether it's their own or a loved one's. You'll hear about the importance of taking that first step, finding a supportive community, and remembering that you're not alone in this journey.
Amy and Darcie also celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Finding Hope, reflecting on its growth and the impact it has had on so many lives. If you're looking for inspiration and practical tips to start your year off right, this episode is a must-listen.
