EP 35: Principles of Addiction Recovery – What Every Mother Needs to Know

“Lack of power, that was our dilemma. We had to find a power by which we could live, and it had to be a Power greater than ourselves.” — Alcoholics Anonymous

Have you ever felt a sense of powerlessness in the face of addiction? Whether it is a struggle of your own or witnessing the cycle in a loved one, the fear can be paralyzing. We often look for physical solutions to what is, at its core, a spiritual sickness.

When we move away from spiritual answers, the physical world often fails to provide the healing we seek. Addiction is frequently born from "wrong habits of managing life"—an attempt to move from pain to pleasure without undergoing the internal change required for true peace. It is a broken way of approaching life’s problems, but it is not a reflection of a person’s worth.

There is profound hope. Even the best people struggle, but by understanding the principles that combat addiction, we can arm ourselves and our families with the resilience to stay whole.

Listen to our latest podcast to explore the spiritual principles that offer a way out of addiction.
