I'd done everything in my life for me, you know, I figured that's what it was about. That church led me to a pastor that talked about Jesus Christ.
Ever wondered how faith can transform a life ravaged by addiction? In this episode of 'Real Recovery', hosts George and Bill take you through the final step of recovery: recognizing God's work in your life and sharing that revelation with others. The spotlight then shifts to Jim, whose story is nothing short of miraculous. Starting from high school parties to a near-death experience from alcohol poisoning, Jim's drinking spiraled out of control, even after marriage.
It wasn't until he faced severe consequences that he sought help. Initially trying to quit on his own, Jim eventually turned to Alcoholics Anonymous and found true freedom through the fifth, sixth, and seventh steps. What makes Jim's journey particularly inspiring is his spiritual awakening. He discovered a relationship with God, which became the cornerstone of his recovery. Jim talks about the importance of memorizing scripture and using 'fighter verses' to combat temptations.
He also highlights the dangers of selfishness and self-centeredness, stressing the role of sponsorship in maintaining sobriety. This episode offers a powerful message of hope and transformation for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Tune in to hear Jim's incredible story and learn how faith can lead to true deliverance.
