TRT is proven to work with efficacy rates well over 80 percent over periods of long term recovery, over three years. TRT participants with more than three years since being in active therapy profess that they continue to maintain a discipline of recovery. Many have slipped into phases of relapse, including a return to engaging in addictive behavior. However, most return to a lifestyle of active recovery.
How do they do it? Recovering individuals that have maintained consistent lifestyle patterns of recovery committed to the ABC steps of TRT, experience in a tangible way the transforming power of God in their recovery. They don’t merely survive sober, they thrive sober and seek God daily for what they want and hope for in their recovery. They pray daily and specifically for what they want in recovery, confident that what they want in recovery reflects the desires and expectations they believe that Gods wants for them in recovery.
It is very much a reciprocal relationship and symbiotic relationship. Symbiotic in this case does not suggest that God and humans are separate species but rather addresses the connection between natural man and supernatural God. The measurable outcomes may not appear to be empirical in a scientific sense but by the evidence of bona fide recovery of the addicted individual experiencing restoration physically, psychologically and spiritually. Outcomes are measured by reconciliation throughout key relationships and circumstantial recovery (professional, financial).
