Postures of Recovery

Recovery from unwanted sexual behavior is up to you. And only you can know how much of “you” is going into the work. It's about postures of recovery.

In this episode, Josh and Kit examine a few postures toward recovery and how to readjust for lasting impact.  

This important journey is about more than trying to quit a bad habit. True healing hinges on your posture. How vulnerable are you? Who are you doing this for?  

We are digging deep into these questions with you. We pray you feel brave enough to recognize your motivation, honest enough to acknowledge your true level of commitment, and willing to stretch into a posture for true recovery. 

God is inviting you to more.

Highlights:

Postures of Recovery: If I’m really doing the work of recovery, it means that I am literally walking places, looking at parts of my life, talking about things that I may have never looked at, talked about or walked through before and that takes courage.

Shallow recovery is like weeding, whereas real recovery is more like excavation

The reality of recovery is it extends beneath the ground in all sorts of directions and so, in recovery, we’re looking for roots.  It isn’t about going in and plucking a weed.

Reflection:

What am I learning that I need to do for my sake to become the whole person that I was meant to become?

Why are you in recovery, because you don’t want to repeat that behavior anymore? Or are you in recovery to get more out of life?
