We're commanded by Jesus to be in all the way, and that's why you can see such a tremendous turnaround in a lot of our guests' lives
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around from the grips of alcoholism to become a beacon of hope and health? In this episode of 'Real Recovery', hosts Bill Arnold and George Fraser chat with Matt, a personal trainer whose story is both inspiring and enlightening. Matt opens up about his early days of drinking in high school, which spiraled into a dependency that followed him into his career as a personal trainer.
He shares candidly about using alcohol as a crutch to celebrate, relax, and even motivate himself. But this isn't just a tale of struggle; it's a story of redemption and faith. Matt discusses the dangers of putting anything—whether it be a job, hobby, or even oneself—above God, and how idolatry can subtly take hold. Through the support of his faith community and a renewed focus on physical fitness, Matt found a way out of the darkness.
He emphasizes the daily discipline required to stay sober and the importance of staying active in both body and spirit. Listeners will find valuable insights on how faith can provide purpose and direction, and how community support plays a crucial role in recovery. This episode is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding a new path filled with hope, health, and spiritual fulfillment.
