We see people entering into a sober way of living, not just abstaining, but something deeper, something more.
What does it really mean to live a sober life? Dr. Ken Buckle dives into this question in an eye-opening episode of 'Encounter with Dr. Ken'. He starts by calling upon the Holy Spirit, setting a reflective tone for a discussion that goes beyond just avoiding substances or behaviors. Dr. Ken makes a clear distinction between abstinence and sobriety.
While abstinence is about not engaging in certain actions, sobriety encompasses a holistic way of living that involves deep self-examination and spiritual growth. Dr. Ken explains that sobriety means more than just willpower; it’s about being alert, avoiding sin, and having a clear mind. He stresses that true sobriety involves working on character defects and seeking help from a higher power. Throughout the episode, Dr.
Ken offers practical advice and spiritual guidance, urging listeners to develop virtues like chastity and to avoid pitfalls such as pornography and affairs. He also touches on the challenges posed by COVID-19 and how to navigate them while maintaining a sober lifestyle. If you're looking for insights that go beyond the surface, this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Ken's compassionate and faith-based approach provides valuable tools for anyone on the journey to recovery.
