Resurrection Recovery

So.... We haven't been consistent about releasing our part 2...... Here it is. TADA!

Worry can kill you. Most of us worry about something, but should we?

We heard a powerful sermon this past week. The topic was "It's not about where you start, it's where you finish." Thank you, Pastor Kyle of Xperience Church.

Shane, thanks for the topic. Keep it simple. It sounds cliche but it can improve your life.

Darrel and Mom sit down for a Q & A session that turned into the longest episode in Resurrection Recovery history. We hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed making it.

What are some things that you should focus on during your first 12 months of recovery. Tune in and see.

Darrel Interviews Jeffrey's Mom. Grab kleenex.

Change is difficult. We all know that the system is broken, but what can we do to change it. We discuss some simple things you can do to help. We love you. You're worth it.

Our thoughts dictate our actions. Our actions become our character. What are you thinking about? While not a listener request, we did touch on several of your questions..... check it out.

Finding balance can be difficult for anyone. Even more so when you are trying to balance recovery, work, family, and spiritual principles. How do you find balance? Here are a few ideas.

Listener request (Thank You Ryan). The addict is not the only one who is sick in the addicted family. The addict isn't the only one who suffers. In fact, sometimes it may seem that the family has it much worse than the addict. We talk about several ways to handle this situation.

Listener request. Thank you, Gina. We got asked is there a difference between recovery and just not using? We discuss this topic today.

Sometimes we do not take a step forward because we fear succeeding. It may sound strange, but fear of success is an issue. Like all issues there is a root cause. We will discuss a few today and possible ways to overcome the issue.

My (Jeffrey) daughter and I recently reconnected and she agreed to sit down and do a q and a session with me. We talk about questions the addict may have and the thoughts and feelings of the child of an addict. As J-bug says "it's raw and uncut."

We start thinking differently once we get sober/saved, where do the thoughts come from? Is it God? Is it me? Is it something else? Here are a few ways you might now.

Setbacks happen, sometimes we will go back to our old routines. Can I still Come back? 

We attended the Luncheon of Hope and had the opportunity to talk with Mary from Never Let Go Ministries.

What came first? No, we don't mean the chicken or the egg, we are talking about faith or sobriety. Listener request... Thanks for the support

"So, you mean I have to do this forever?" is a common question in the rooms. The answer, is "No you don't." But you do need to do something...

What is your purpose? We all have a purpose; the question is what is the purpose? Are we serving God or serving the world?

Early on in sobriety, or even after getting saved, many people What's next? Sure, I stopped using, what should I do now? I got saved, but what should I be doing? Here are a few suggestions.

Whenever we contemplate change the trap of "What if?" can come to the surface. Rest assured, God has a plan, and He will be with you every step of the way.  We recorded this episode with video on Facebook Live. So, check out the page.

If we spend too much time comparing ourselves, we will disqualify ourselves. We all have issues and the only perfect person to ever walk the Earth was Jesus. Give yourself a break and let God Love you and use you for His purpose.

Consistency is the key to any change; recovery is no different. We must be intentional about maintaining consistency or risk returning to bad habits.

What are some of the reasons enablers continue to help addicts? We discuss several reasons.
