14. "I Chose Hope. He Chose Sobriety. Here's What God Did."

In this heartfelt episode, Christie shares her Word of the Year for 2025—Embrace—and reflects on how God used her previous word, Hope, to carry her through the ups and downs of parenting a child battling addiction.  She shares the powerful story of her son choosing Sobriety as his own word last year and how he ended the year sober and remains in recovery today. You’ll be encouraged to choose your own Word of the Year, reconnect with your faith, and learn how to embrace not only the joyful moments—but also the pain, the questions, and everything in between.  Whether your year is going as planned or feels off-track, this episode reminds you: it’s not too late to start again with God’s help. ✨ Comment your Word of the Year on Instagram @christiegstutz or visit www.christiesinspirations.com for more resources.   EXPLORE: Free EBOOK:  A Mother's Love, Navigating The Journey through Addiction With Hope & Strength The Courageous Moms Toolkit: Click Here The Courageous Moms Circle Support Group: Click Here Related Blog Post: The Word That Carried Me, And The Word I'm Clinging To Now Free Self-Care Checklist: Click Here Boundaries With Love Checklist OTHER RESOURCES: Beyond Addiction: How Science and Kindness Help People Change.
