In this episode of 'Christians with Secret Addictions', Terry Hanna dives deep into the seventh and eighth laws of recovery - restitution and forgiveness. Terry, who has over two decades of recovery experience, shares his insights on how these principles can lead to closure and freedom. He explains that restitution involves making amends for the harm caused during addiction, whether emotional or financial. This step is crucial for dealing with unfinished business and freeing oneself from guilt and shame.
Terry emphasises that while making restitution can be challenging, it is a necessary step towards healing and recovery. He also touches on the importance of forgiveness, highlighting that it is not about condoning the wrongs done to us but about freeing ourselves from the bondage of resentment.
