In this roundtable episode of Jesus Loves Addicts, hosts and recovery leaders Kathryn, Ross, and Paul unpack relationships in early recovery—examining the rewards, the dangers, and the faith-centered wisdom needed to navigate them.

Topics include why waiting (often a year or more) matters, how attraction and sex can function like a drug, codependency and “fixer/fixee” dynamics, the influence of Hollywood myths, and practical steps for accountability, boundaries, and spiritual growth.

Listeners will hear honest experiences, biblical perspective on covenant and commitment, and key takeaways for building healthier platonic and romantic relationships while seeking Christ-centered recovery.
