If You’re Sober but Still Struggling, Hear This
with Justin Franich
ABOUT THIS EPISODE
You stopped using. You're technically clean. But you're still empty. Still white knuckling it. Still wondering why sobriety doesn't feel like freedom. The drugs were never the real problem. They were covering the soul wounds underneath. Betrayal. Abuse. Loss. The only thing that fills the void is the presence of Christ and the hard work of forgiving the people who hurt you.
