Pastor Mark and Pastor Eric are back with a vital discussion on creating a relapse prevention plan that's both practical and spiritually enriching. Drawing from the wisdom of Benjamin Franklin's famous quote, 'If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail', they emphasize the necessity of a well-thought-out strategy to stay on the path of sobriety. The episode kicks off with the most crucial element: putting God first.
By dedicating daily time to prayer, scripture reading, and living a life that honors God, you can build a solid foundation for your recovery journey. Next, the pastors tackle the importance of changing your environment—saying goodbye to old habits, places, and even some friendships that might trigger a relapse. They offer actionable tips on how to find new, supportive communities and hobbies that align with a sober lifestyle.
Additionally, they stress the value of having a sponsor or mentor who can provide guidance and support when temptations arise. The episode is rich with personal stories and biblical references, making it relatable and deeply encouraging. Whether you're new to recovery or have faced setbacks along the way, this episode offers a compassionate roadmap to help you navigate the challenges of staying sober. It's not just about avoiding relapse; it's about embracing a life filled with purpose and faith.
