If you're chasing after alcohol, the alcohol is serving you in some way. Maybe you're using it as a coping mechanism.
In this episode of the Relational Recovery podcast, hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill dive into the concept of transformation. They explore how true change is more than just a desire to be different – it's about integrating all parts of ourselves, from our mind to our body, and aligning them with a higher purpose. Drawing from their experiences at The Refuge, they discuss how people often compartmentalise their lives, leading to disjointed behaviour and internal conflict.
The conversation touches on the importance of addressing exaggerated behaviours, like addictions, by replacing harmful habits with healthier alternatives that serve the same purpose. Wes and Austin also highlight the Christian perspective on transformation, referencing Romans 12 to emphasise the holistic approach to personal growth. They stress that transformation is a gradual process that requires daily commitment and intentionality. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, the hosts make a compelling case for focusing on self-improvement rather than trying to change others.
They argue that by working on ourselves, we can positively influence those around us. The episode is filled with insightful discussions about the challenges of maintaining integrity and authenticity in our journey towards transformation. Whether you're at the beginning of your recovery journey or have been striving for change for years, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical advice on how to achieve lasting transformation.
