Went to a celebrate recovery meeting tonight with a friend from work....I know it has its purpose but i just have such a hard time with the once an addict always an addict mentality. If we are new creations in Christ and we are born again..the old man is gone and your new, can you really say and also walk into the identity of who you are in Christ while holding onto a lie...If your a new creation why keep telling yourself your an addict and always will be?? I had a 10 year drug addiction to speed (aka) meth from the time i was 17 to 27 and Jesus literally took it away from me over night...I dont see myself nor ever have I as a recovering addict. I was reborn and he delivered me from addiction. I may not have had a clue of my identity back then but i knew i was not the same person nor would i ever be again. Praying for a deeper understanding of this as i feel confused as to why in a faith based recovery this is a standard thought process. I never had to go to recovery so maybe thats why i dont get it ...idk. praying about it
