We’ve chosen addiction over life. -Dr. Rhona Epstein
Sequels are rarely good, but this episode of Real Recovery with Bill Arnold and George Fraser is the exception as they welcome back Dr. Rhona Epstein!
You can hear Dr. Epstein’s first appearance on Real Recovery here.
Before the guys bring Dr. Epstein on they discuss Step 5 which says, “We admit to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs”. 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
The guys, along with Dr. Epstein, discuss the root causes behind food addiction, how it’s similar to other addictions, and steps you can take to recover.
Rhona Epstein began her recovery journey at seventeen years old after battling binge eating and bulimia from childhood. Affected so deeply by the recovery process, she determined to devote the rest of her life to helping others out of the same insanity with food abuse and weight obsession.
Since 1994, Rhona provides individual, couples, family, and group psychotherapy at Life Counseling Services in Paoli, Pennsylvania. While she’s expanded her practice to reach people with a wide range of issues, she specializes in treating addictions and eating disorders. Depending on the client, Rhona integrates either twelve-step recovery principles or biblically-based spirituality in therapy.
