| 0:00.0 | Well, welcome back to Catholic Cancer's Live. I'm Sy, Kelet, your host and as promised |
| 0:20.7 | Scott Weeman here with us from Catholic In Recovery. He wrote the sacraments and the |
| 0:26.4 | steps and he's been building up this beautiful apostolate Catholic In Recovery and he's actually |
| 0:32.2 | on the road. Usually we have him here in studio with us, but he's as part of his work building |
| 0:36.2 | up that apostolate, which is an apostolate. I'll let him tell you about it. I was going |
| 0:39.8 | to describe it, but I'll let him describe it to you. He'll do better than I will. Scott's |
| 0:43.1 | on the road. So it's nice to have you here, but even though we don't quite have you here, |
| 0:46.7 | Scott. Yeah, it's great to be here on this being in studio with you and rubbing shoulders |
| 0:52.4 | together, but I think we'll make do hopefully the sound is coming in all right. Yeah, you |
| 0:56.2 | sound fine. So give us the basic rundown because I was going to give a shot, but you may |

| 1:18.5 | a ministry or an organization, but a community of men and women who are seeking freedom from a |
| 1:23.2 | variety of addictions, compulsions, and unhealthy attachments, as well as those impacted by the |
| 1:27.8 | family disease of addiction. That might include alcoholism, drug addiction, compulsive overeating, |
| 1:34.2 | restricted eating, gambling addiction, pornography and lust addiction, technology addiction, |
| 1:39.5 | cluttering, you name it. The things that we attach to or seek in place of God that become |
| 1:44.6 | finally have it forming, but really manifest physically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. |
| 1:51.9 | And so we unite 12-step addiction recovery with the Sacramento Life of the Church to create a |
| 1:56.9 | place where people can find really support. It's really just those who have found recovery, |
| 2:01.5 | sharing the good news with those who are seeking it, and in turn, both benefit. |
