This story offers a glimpse into Kevin’s painful struggle with addiction, shame, and broken relationships, and how surrendering to God through the Twelve Steps, confession, and the support of Catholic in Recovery gradually led him toward healing, reconciliation, and a deeper experience of God’s mercy and love.
REFLECT
- As a naval officer, Kevin was accustomed to discipline and strength, yet recovery began when he admitted his powerlessness over alcohol. Where in your life is pride in your own strength preventing you from surrendering to God?
- Kevin's turning point came through embracing the first step and acknowledging that he could not overcome addiction on his own. What would it look like for you to fully admit your powerlessness in a specific area of your life?
- Kevin’s story reframes strength not as control, but as humility and dependence on God. How is God inviting you to redefine what true strength looks like in your life?
