Listen "The Seventh Step to Freedom"
Episode Synopsis
Sermon by Dr. Robert Lewis
7/16/2000
From freedom to relapse
Causes of a relapse
Complacency and reverting back to willpower after a few short successes.
Compromise by convincing yourself you can be in control and handle it.
Ignoring one of the steps.
Trying to recover without support.
Refusing to fill the void with something right.
Real freedom is not what you stop, it's what you start after you stop.
Preventing a relapse
Reserve daily time with God for self examination and spiritual empowerment.
Evaluate: Physical, emotional, relational, spiritual inventory
Evaluate daily, periodically and annually
Meditate by slowing down enough to hear God speak to us from His Word.
Prayer
Relapse doesn't mean hopeless.
Freedom is not a moment in time; it's one day at a time.
