Are you struggling with an addiction (Drugs, Alcohol, Pornography, Gambling, Overspending, Codependency, Social Media, or Gaming)? Do you keep telling yourself that you will quit, but keep relapsing? Are you trying to get through your addiction alone, isolated, angry, and in denial? You are not alone! Online Christian recovery coach and counselor James Egidio educates, informs, inspires, empowers and coaches his podcast listener’s on how to successfully get through their addiction and recovery by avoiding relapse through the grace and mercy of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Addiction can leave a trail of brokenness and fractured relationships in its wake. The pain and damage caused by addiction can strain even the strongest bonds, leaving us feeling hopeless and isolated. However, the message of the Gospel offers hope for restoration and healing. I'll explore the biblical principles of reconciliation and forgiveness and how they can help restore broken relationships affected by addiction. Through God's grace, we can find the strength to seek reconciliation, extend forgiveness and experience the transformative power of restoration.
