You have the power within you to control your own lifestyle.
Is addiction a matter of choice, or is it a disease? This question has sparked countless debates, and in this episode of 'Unashamed Recovery', hosts Josh and Drew dive deep into this topic with Amy Brogan from Jacob's Well Recovery Center of South Mississippi. Forget the worn-out arguments you've heard before; Amy offers a refreshing biblical perspective that might just change your mind, as it did for the hosts.
She argues that while addiction may begin with personal choices, it eventually becomes a condition that traps individuals, making it hard to escape without help. Amy sheds light on how trauma and environment play crucial roles in addiction and recovery. She emphasizes the importance of finding a supportive community and altering one’s surroundings to foster a successful recovery journey.
Her insights challenge the notion that addiction is purely a matter of willpower, advocating instead for a compassionate understanding rooted in faith. If you're looking to redefine your view on addiction and recovery, this episode offers a thoughtful blend of spiritual wisdom and practical advice. Tune in to hear Amy's compelling take and see if it resonates with your own experiences.
