DAY 07 of 7 · Faith and recovery

Where Your Faith Meets Your Recovery

You have spent six days exploring the intersection of spiritual life and recovery — from the weight of spiritual shame to the difference between guilt and shame, from the gap between belief and behavior to the distinction between discipline and willpower.

The central question of this course is not whether faith helps recovery. For many people, it does — profoundly. The question is how to let it help without letting it become another source of shame.

Today, reflect on where you stand. How has your faith shaped your experience of this struggle? Where has it helped you? Where has it added weight? And what do you want the relationship between your spiritual life and your recovery to look like going forward?

Takeaway

The question is not whether faith helps recovery. It is how to let it help without letting it become another source of shame.
