Christian Alcohol Recovery

By the time problem drinking becomes full-blown alcoholism, emotional and mental illnesses often appear, physical ailments often surface and all the relationships around the alcoholic suffer.  Worse, the human spirit is impacted by the soul-sickness of alcoholism.  Christian alcohol recovery for many is the answer.

A quality rehabilitation center, while not necessarily religious in nature, may offer Christian alcohol recovery options for those seeking to understand the powerful principles found in the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous from a scriptural perspective.  Typically the center offers a comprehensive program that addresses the mental, emotional, relational and medical needs of the patient.  In addition, a spiritual emphasis is critical to quality recovery from alcoholism.

Now, in tandem with a “Traditional Track”, taken from the spiritual program found in the Big Book of Alcoholic’s Anonymous, many treatment centers offer a “Christian Track” that teaches the 12 Steps from a biblical perspective.  Christian alcohol recovery programs have proven to be highly effective for those patients who apply the principles vigorously.

Ancient Wisdom Critical in Recovery from Alcoholism and Drug Addiction

Can the secret to successfully recovering from addictive illnesses like alcoholism and drug addiction involve ancient, timeless practices that have literally been sitting under our very noses all this time?

It looks like it …

Recent scientific evidence suggest that age old practices like meditation can have the effect of reversing imbalances in the brain that actually cause things like addiction.

I’m not going to go into the science of it here (for the full article visit my blog), but to me it again highlights the fact that general western mainstream medicine often gets it wrong when treating things like addiction.

Disease, of which addiction is now generally accepted a part of, is still too commonly treated on a symptomatic basis. You’ve got a problem – and your Doctor simply treats the symptoms by providing you with a bunch of drugs.
