WALK IN PURITYWhat it is
Dr. Robert T. Tucker sets out New Life Spirit Recovery's theological framework in about 4,000 words. His central claim is that a human being is body, soul and spirit, and that addiction treatment addressing only the physical and psychological dimensions leaves the third untouched — which is why he argues faith-based recovery reaches a peace that behavioural management alone does not. From there he works through identifying root causes rather than symptoms (emotional wounds, trauma, spiritual affliction), a spiritual-warfare framing in which spiritual problems require spiritual solutions, a transformation process of confession, repentance and forgiveness, and a maintenance strategy built on capturing thoughts, self-examination and passing recovery on to others. Substantial enough to sit with, and a good statement of the faith-based position for someone weighing it against a clinical model. Note the spiritual-warfare framing is stronger here than in most resources in this directory.
