There is a very good article in the National Catholic Register about a Catholic program to address addictions. The iTHIRST Initiative (The Healing Initiative: Recovery, Spirituality and Twelve Steps) is a program offering spiritual accompaniment for those struggling with addictions. The article is right here: Aiding the Addicted: Healing Hearts and Souls Through Spiritual Accompaniment in the National Catholic Register

The article mentions a Fr. Michael Champagne. I met him once, back in 2012 at an Into The Wild Weekend experiential retreat. He was the chaplain. His preaching was incredible. “True doctrine issued from his mouth.”

I have a new book! "The Sober Catholic Way" is a handbook on how anyone can live a sober life, drawn from over 17 years of SoberCatholic posts! It's out now on "Amazon," "Apple Books," "B&N" and and others!"!

My two other books are still available! "The Stations of the Cross for Alcoholics" and "The Recovery Rosary: Reflections for Alcoholics and Addicts" (Thank you!!)
