If you're in active addiction of any kind, you may feel like you're in a battle for your life, your future, or even your next twenty-four hours. You may feel like you're losing the war, feeling exposed, vulnerable, and weary. But when you enter recovery, the active addiction battle ends and the battle for recovery begins.
In Twelve Steps of Armor, author Angela Pedigo offers a faith-based recovery program centered around the armor of God as a means of sustaining recovery from addictions, codependence, character defects, and life events that hinder growth. The core of the material is designed around Ephesians and explains how the armor works as it relates to recovery and the risks of old habits returning if we leave our armor behind. Interactive in nature, the program engages the participants with visual representations and/or activities which create a deeper level of involvement and understanding the importance of armoring up.
Pedigo shares that people can become clean from substances and destructive habits, but to live soberly is to be sober minded, actively practicing these steps daily while growing a relationship with God and with others.
