"Recovery starts when you call out to God for help"
This episode of The Hope Recovery Podcast, hosted by Greg Schmalhofer, is a heartfelt tribute to a dear friend named Russ. As Russ moves away from Pennsylvania, Greg shares four powerful lessons he learned from Russ that blend faith and recovery. Each lesson offers a unique perspective on how faith can play a pivotal role in overcoming addiction and finding a new path in life. The first lesson is about calling out to God for help.
Greg recounts how reaching a desperate point in his life led him to cry out to God, who answered his prayers. This act of desperation and surrender marked the beginning of his recovery journey. The second lesson emphasises the transformative power of faith. Greg highlights how God's intervention can lead to dramatic changes in one's life, providing the strength and guidance needed to overcome addiction. The third lesson focuses on the importance of trust and obedience in recovery.
Greg shares how following God's guidance and being obedient to His will helped him build a strong foundation for his recovery. He stresses that while trust in God is essential, active participation in one's recovery process is equally important. The final lesson is about helping others. Greg explains how being part of a community and supporting others in their recovery journey not only aids them but also enriches one's own life.
He encourages listeners to consider how they can give back and support others, as this mutual support is a cornerstone of successful recovery. These four lessons, rooted in faith and personal experience, offer valuable insights for anyone on the path to recovery. They serve as a reminder that with faith, trust, and community support, overcoming addiction is possible. So, if you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on your recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen.
