Join us as we dive into stereotypes about addiction that are regularly aired in the shame game of trying to run and hide and act out in secret.

A few mentioned early in this episode: 

1. Everybody who is an addict is non-functional - cannot hold down a job or a family.
2. Don’t let ANYBODY know because it is the worst thing you can be doing - my kids can’t play with other people’s kids anymore.
3. Once an addict, always an addict … 
4. The husband is a villain, the wife is a victim. 

Listen to this episode and leave us comments on what kept (or currently keeps) you in isolation and the cycle of confession and compulsion. 

When Christ healed the leper, he was no longer a leper. When he healed the blind, the blind could see. What’s keeping you from putting down the shackles of addiction and stepping into a new life of recovery?
