And once I realized I can't, it felt really good.
Addiction can turn lives upside down, not just for those struggling with it but for their families too. In this episode of 'Real Recovery', hosts Bill Arnold and George Fraser sit down with Julia and her nephew Alex to explore the profound impact of faith and family support in the recovery journey.
Bill and George kick things off by discussing the critical first step in any recovery process: admitting that you're powerless over your addiction and that life has become unmanageable. This acknowledgment sets the stage for a deeper conversation about how faith can be a guiding light through the darkest times. Julia shares her heartfelt story of helping Alex find a much-needed recovery program and standing by him every step of the way.
Alex opens up about his struggles with manipulation, narcissism, and trust issues, shedding light on the complexities of addiction. But it's not all about the challenges; this episode also offers a beacon of hope. The conversation delves into the importance of small victories and recognizing God's presence in one's life as crucial stepping stones towards recovery.
As Bill poignantly notes, "And once I realized I can't, it felt really good", capturing the relief and liberation that comes with surrendering to a higher power. Whether you're grappling with addiction yourself or supporting a loved one through their journey, this episode provides valuable insights and encouragement. Tune in to 'Real Recovery' to hear Julia and Alex's inspiring story and discover how faith and family can pave the way to a brighter future.
