Recovery:  an 8-letter word that is power packed with possibility and hope.

But where to start?  

No doubt each situation and individual is unique, but it might be say to say that recovery quite likely includes

• God 
• your community and
• your desire to be well  

Tune in to this episode of the Choose 2 Think podcast with guest Helen Musick where she humbly shares her heart in overcoming alcohol addiction.    Though her journey to recovery has taken many twists and turns, her message is filled with hope and inspiration.  We focus on the importance of taking thoughts captive to help you overcome addiction.   

We probably all have a "mat"--that familiar place where we may have groveled, stayed stuck, wallowed, and felt hopeless.  Could today be your day to "Stand up, pick up your mat, and go home!” (Mar. 2:12)? 

Or do you know someone who would benefit from this message of HOPE?  Please share the episode link.  ​
