What is that “thing” that you regret you did not do sooner? Since this is a podcast about addiction and mostly alcoholism there are two answers I often hear.

I wish I had quit drinking before I actually did

I wish I had joined this group before I tried it on my own again.

This group is Joyful Surrender and in this podcast, you're going to hear what a meeting is all about.  

I get countless unfinished “form” notifications each week about joining Joyful Surrender.  There are five questions you have to answer. 

#1 Are you in Recovery? If yes, what is your sober anniversary? If no, simply answer no and move on to the next question.

#2 Why do you want to be in Joyful Surrender?

#3 Please review the group rules. Do you agree to honor them?

#4 Is your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?

AND, this is where I lose you.

#5 Are you willing to talk with an Admin? If yes, follow the link to schedule a call. 

In my estimations only about one in twenty follow through with #5.  It makes no sense to me, but yet it does because I have been there.  You want to take the final step but at the last minute, all the little voices of doubt creep in.  

I'm passionate about Encouraging anyone to join A group, I am not trying to sell Joyful Surrender. I don’t make a profit there isn't a  membership fee the only thing that’s required is a true desire to get sober and use your faith as the biggest tool  To be accountable and to receive encouragement as well as give encouragement that’s why we are sharing this meeting with you

We will talk about;

What made us complete step 5 and schedule that phone call? What relapse in a support group looks like? Why are faith-based meetings so important?

And so much more!  

“And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.” Hebrews 10:25 NLT

About the She Surrenders Podcast:

On the She Surrenders podcast we are talking about women, faith and addiction all on the same platform. There are many podcasts for women and sobriety, but very few for women seeking information and stories from others about faith-based recovery.
