In our last episode we covered the identities of addiction which an addict must shed to become a genuine and authentic individual. In this episode we have successful enterpreneur Greg Walker again giving us his unique perspective on shedding identities of addiction, but this time it is the identity of family members and other loved ones who have become enablers or codependents who mean well by rescuing the addict or insulating them from facing the natural consequences of their choices and mistakes.
This is something that I am very familiar with myself coming from a family who has had to deal with multiple long term substance and alcohol abuse issues.
Ultimately, there is only one relationship that has the power to rescue an addict from his affliction, a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord and savior. This is because the wrestling match takes place in the spiritual realm where we mere humans have no power. Only the supernatural power of Jesus can defeat the evil powers of addiction in this world where Satan rules!
