Ep 36: Paul Thim's Journey - Spirituality and Substance Abuse Treatment

For me, [12-Step Recovery] is one of the best examples I know of Christianity being put into action, applied to life.
After dedicating 11 years to the Men’s Recovery Center at MARR, Paul Thim is stepping down from his role as a primary counselor. In this episode of 'Stories of Recovery', Paul opens up about the lessons he’s learned on his journey, blending his work in substance abuse treatment with his career as an Episcopal priest. His reflections reveal how the principles of 12-Step Recovery align with Christian values, offering a powerful framework for personal transformation and growth.
Paul dives into the importance of empathy and accountability in addiction treatment, highlighting how these elements foster deeper emotional awareness and stronger relationships. He also shares poignant observations on how addiction affects family dynamics and the hurdles of maintaining sobriety. Through his experiences, Paul illustrates the potential for positive change within therapeutic communities and spiritual practices. Whether you’re navigating your own recovery or supporting someone else’s journey, Paul’s insights provide a wellspring of inspiration and practical wisdom.
