Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic: A Candid Conversation on Drinking, Addiction, and How to Break Free - Seidl, Jonathon M

There's hope for alcoholics who become Christians--and for Christians who become alcoholics

While the Christian community loves stories of salvation, it struggles with stories of sanctification--the often messy journey of becoming like Jesus. As a result, many who stumble in their faith walk are mired in shame and remain stuck doing what they don't want to do, especially when it comes to one of society's biggest obsessions: alcohol.

In this brutally honest yet unashamedly hopeful book, Jonathon M. Seidl vividly details his spiral into disordered drinking--from Christian to alcoholic, not the other way around--and shares the four-step process he eventually used to break free. Along the way, he addresses the roots of our addictions, exposes trauma, reframes the term alcoholic, and offers biblical support for why Christians aren't immune to ongoing sin struggles. It's the radically vulnerable book for anyone who has ever wanted to taste freedom but has found it elusive.
