Does the LDS 12 Step Program Work? With Former Addict and Facilitator Colleen Johnston

On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon are joined by Colleen Johnston, a facilitator in the LDS addiction recovery 12 step program for almost two decades.

Colleen is also a recovering addict who shares her incredible journey in the LDS church and her lifestyle that was very different from what the gospel was teaching.

Colleen has a unique perspective on the LDS chuch's 12 step program and we discuss whether it works or actually does more harm than good.

This was an absolutely fascinating episode and we both learned a lot. We know you will too!
