Ever wondered how faith can play a pivotal role in overcoming addiction? In this episode of 'The Sober Truth', George Wood sits down with Timothy McMahan King, an addiction specialist and faith leader, to discuss his gripping journey from addiction to recovery.

Through candid storytelling, he sheds light on the moral and spiritual dimensions of addiction, and how understanding it as a disease can dismantle harmful stigmas. Timothy doesn't just stop at personal anecdotes; he dives into broader issues like the failures of prohibitionist policies and the effectiveness of harm reduction approaches. His insights are not just theoretical but are grounded in real-world experiences, making this episode a valuable resource for anyone affected by addiction.
Timothy’s emphasis on self-awareness and the transformative power of hope and faith offers a beacon of light for those struggling to find their way. This conversation is more than just an exploration of addiction; it’s a call to rethink how society addresses this pervasive issue. Whether you're in recovery, supporting a loved one, or simply interested in the intersection of faith and healing, this episode offers something for everyone.
Timothy's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the profound impact that faith and freedom can have on one's journey to recovery.
