029 Overcoming Addiction with Helen Musick

In today’s episode, we’ll take a look behind the scenes of a fully recovered, former alcoholic. Pastor Helen Musick of LexCity Church opens her heart for us as she shares her candid experience with overcoming addiction. If you’ve ever been caught in the head winds of addiction…anything from pornography, alcohol, other drugs, food, gambling, approval, shopping, you name it …this encouraging message may offer you a fresh line of hope as you are in perhaps the battle of your lifetime.

And if this message is not for you directly, I’m quite certain you know someone in your circles who would really benefit from this word. Please, please share the episode link with your loved ones and friends.

Helen and I pull apart the mental anatomy of addiction – that is the impact of the thoughts and attitudes we may have regarding the addiction and the subsequent harmful or helpful behavior these thoughts and mindsets may provoke.

This is a message of surrender and victory all in one. It's about:

• The Power of "we"
• God's goodness
• a Grace Awakening
• the blessing of confessing
• walking in obedience one day at a time
• hitting the high bottom of addiction
• refusing to bow the knee to an idol
• the invaluable cost of choosing peace and obedience
• the pain and anguish of saying "no more"
• rewiring the brain
• developing stronger muscles
• choosing to be present
