Facing Denial: A Christian Approach to Overcoming Addiction
Our goal for this whole show is that you can find hope in the midst of a really dark, dark time.
Ever wondered why denial is such a huge barrier in addiction recovery? Roger Boaz and Jason Rice kick off their 'Soberholic Podcast' journey by tackling this very topic. In this episode, they dig into the different forms of denial that can keep someone trapped in addiction. But it’s not just about identifying the problem—they also offer practical, faith-based solutions to help break free from these chains.
Roger and Jason share their personal battles with denial, shedding light on how rationalizing and minimizing their addictions only made things worse. They open up about the anger that often accompanies denial, pushing loved ones away and creating even more isolation. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s something many listeners will find relatable. What's unique here is their Christian perspective. They emphasize the power of biblical principles and Christian twelve-step programs like Celebrate Recovery.
These programs, they argue, are not just tools for sobriety but pathways to finding true peace, joy, and freedom in Christ. So, if you’re struggling with addiction or know someone who is, this episode offers a blend of personal stories and spiritual guidance. It’s a heartfelt invitation to confront denial head-on and start the journey toward healing.
