Processing Church Trauma in Recovery with Zach G.

We hear many stories of trauma that lead to using substances to numb the feelings of one’s experience, but trauma in the Church can be unique. Some experience horrible things in the Church, while their family praises and worships the same place and the people associated with it. Talk about confusion.  Today, Zach G. shares with us his experience with similar circumstances, and how he is coping today in conjunction with his recovery from drugs and alcohol. Zach has great insight and hopeful words to provide those that may be in the same boat. Great conversation!  You can connect with Zach on IG @coffeeandsobriety or at www.coffeeandsobriety.com  *The Thought Lounge*  Join me, with co-host Angela Pugh (Addiction Unlimited), in “The Thought Lounge”.
