The Hope Addiction

This week Jessica shares "The Living Christ: The Testimony of the Apostles", a declaration that was published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on January 1, 2000. As we celebrate this Christmas season may we all remember the "reason for the season" and find hope, happiness and faith through our Savior Jesus Christ.

Serious damage to someone's most important relationships is not uncommon during active addiction.  It can take months, years and even a lifetime to repair broken relationships after trust has been broken and harm has been done.  In this heartfelt episode, Kelly and Jessica talk about their different relationship experiences since coming into recovery.  They discuss what it means to make a living amends, how they navigate severely damaged relationships and some beautiful experiences of healing through the atonement of Jesus Christ.

Join Kelly and Jessica this week as they discuss Step Three. This step is all about trusting in God & turning our lives and will over to Him. This discussion goes over what exactly Step Three is and some practical ways we can take it. Building a trust with God is a process, but it is one we in recovery find to be incredibly rewarding.

Going through life I have learned two things. First, humans get really uncomfortable with change. Second, we as humans are constantly changing. So how does that work with faith? For some like myself, faith is an evolving thing. It is not something we find one time and have the rest of our lives, it is constantly evolving or devolving. This week I share something a little vulnerable and talk about having doubts, losing faith and finding faith again.

Jessica and Kelly share about their insights, understanding and experiences with Step Two in the Twelve Step Program: Come to believe that the power of God can restore you to complete spiritual health. In Step 1 we admitted we were powerless to overcome our addictions. While taking the first step allowed us to finally be honest with ourselves about the severity of our addictions, we were left with the reality that we were powerless to overcome our addictions.

In Step 2 we were given the concept that despite our powerlessness, their did exist a power that was able to help us, the power of God.

Is getting vulnerable with others difficult for you?  You're not the only one!

Come and listen to Jessica and Kelly talk about the power of vulnerability and the incredible blessings that reaching for more vulnerability can bring into everyone lives.

“Vulnerability is the core of shame and fear and our struggle for worthiness, but it appears that it’s also the birthplace of joy, of creativity, of belonging, of love.”  - Brene' Brown

“Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity. If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.” - Brene' Brown

Join us this week as we discuss some of the triggers we have dealt/deal with in addiction. Sometimes in recovery there are internal and external factors that can make us have the urge to use. Understanding our triggers and finding healthy ways to cope with them is an essential part of recovery.

Have you ever wondered why those with an addiction must admit their powerlessness over their addiction before everything else?

Step One:  We admitted we were powerless over our addictions and that our lives had become unmanageable.  

Jessica and Kelly talk about their personal experiences with the first step of recovery.  Dive deep into their conversation as they discuss the strange yet beautiful truth that when it comes to recovery, the power to change can only be accessed after admitting complete defeat.
