The Healing Power of Forgiveness: A Journey with Brandon and Kristy

Asking for forgiveness and forgiving others takes courage, it takes deep inner work to release the hurts we hold close.
Ever wondered why forgiveness is such a big deal in recovery? In this episode of 'Survivors of Addiction', hosts Brandon Orr and Kristy Laschober dive into the heart of forgiveness and its transformative power. Forgiveness isn't just about letting go of grudges; it's a deliberate choice to release feelings of resentment or vengeance, even when the other person may not deserve it. Holding onto these negative emotions can mess with your head and steal your joy.
But how do you actually go about forgiving someone who has hurt you deeply? Brandon and Kristy share their own raw and honest experiences of humbling themselves to ask for forgiveness and extend it to family members and others in their lives. They talk about the courage it takes to step out of your comfort zone, release guilt and shame, and sometimes even mend broken relationships.
This episode isn't just about theory; it's filled with personal stories that illustrate the real impact of forgiveness. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation will give you a fresh perspective on how forgiveness can help you reclaim your life. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that might just inspire you to take that first step toward healing.
