What We Really Want: Conversations About Connection

FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE to download new episodes as they release!

If it's true that "...the opposite of addiction is not sobriety...the opposite of addiction is connection," there are lots of people who need to discover what true, healthy connection looks like. Whether the struggle is with addiction, toxic relationship dynamics, or something else, we've all tried to meet our needs in unhealthy ways. Way too often, the things we run to for comfort leave us feeling even more disconnected and alone than before.

Through conversations about the many ways we can connect, we offer an invitation to discover and move toward what we really want, so we can live the lives we were created for.

Awaken (awakenrecovery.com) helps men and women whose lives have been wrecked by unwanted/addictive sexual behaviors and sexual betrayal trauma. We hope the podcast will help not only those struggling sexually, but anyone who seeks healthier ways of finding connection.

"Send us a message! (questions, feedback, etc.)"

Anyone who doubts that their story of brokenness can be transformed into one that brings life, hope, and healing to others... needs to listen to this conversation!

Troy & Melissa Haas have walked the road of recovery themselves. Troy has experienced multiple addictions and imprisonment, and Melissa has gone through the agony of partner betrayal trauma. Together they embraced their own recovery journey, and since 2001 have offered help and resources to thousands.

As founders of The HopeQuest Group and based out of Atlanta GA, Troy and Melissa, along with their team, offer inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment for men, as well as sexual recovery support communities for men and women. They also have a burden and passion for providing resources for church leaders.

Episode 68 | Troy & Melissa Haas: We Just Want to Walk With People will be available Tuesday, June 9th!
