À propos de cet audio

 Welcome to the Say Goodbye And Imagine podcast! In this podcast, we invite you to step into a world where freedom from the psychological slavery of alcohol and other substances isn't just a dream—it's a reality. Through the power of shared stories and unfolding faith, God reveals the amazing gifts and promises waiting for us all when we stop drinking or remove something toxic from our lives. Through Say Goodbye And Imagine you are invited into a Christian community where triumph over alcohol or other substances is not only possible… it's happening every day through faith and the power of God’s Word! Feel a profound connection with others who have walked the same rocky path yet found solid ground by putting biblically-based principles and God at the center of their journey to freedom. Imagine replacing the weight of guilt and isolation with the lightness of grace and companionship through a shared Chirstian community seeking alcohol freedom. Through the testimony of our podcast community, you can discover how the Holy Spirit moves powerfully in the lives of those who have surrendered their struggles and embraced a journey of true transformation with God at the helm. Witness the transformative power of Jesus Christ while you gain insight into the lies of the enemy. Through each episode, you'll be equipped with biblically based strategies that others have used to prioritize their spiritual well-being and expose the lies embedded in a toxic habit that is also trying to control your life. Ultimately, each episode guides you to a place where being alcohol-free is just the beginning of your newfound freedom--showing you the amazing world of promise and possibility through God’s grace when alcohol is successfully set aside. Say Goodbye And Imagine shares the firsthand victories of those who have broken free from the psychological slavery of alcohol or other substances. Our greatest hope is to share these stories of triumph so you can draw inspiration and courage from their stories. But our podcast doesn't just offer hope—it showcases the real, tangible outcomes of lives transformed by faith and the collective strength of a community that believes in second chances. Warning: our Say Goodbye And Imagine podcast is a little different. We don’t use words that create shame or a negative identity. So, in our podcast we don’t use vocabulary like alcoholic or alcoholism, alcohol addiction or alcohol recovery, recovery or recovering, sober or sobriety, addict or addiction, powerless or powerlessness, and other words that take away our identity in God. Since we are remade in the image of God, we seek an identity that is empowering through Him. Although we respect & honor groups like AA (Alcoholics Anonymous), Celebrate Recovery, and sober rehabilitation centers, our topics tend to be very individual, focusing on the unique journey of each participant. What is not unique is the common thread of the power of the Holy Spirit at work in each episode. If you desire to quit drinking or have been searching for ways to reconnect with God, then please tune in. Hear the amazing success stories of Christians just like you who decided to choose freedom from alcohol or other substances. Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) “For I know the plans I have for you”, declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Rose Ann Forte is the host of Say Goodbye and Imagine. Rose Ann had reached a point in her own life when she realized that alcohol was stealing from her and understood that God had a much better plan for her.

    Have you ever stopped to ask, “Why did I believe alcohol would help me relax, have fun, or cope?”
    Most of us were warned—by parents, pastors, health teachers, or Scripture itself. But the world around us painted a different picture: alcohol was normal, even necessary.

    In this episode of Say Goodbye and Imagine!, Rose Ann Forte guides you through Core Concept 5 of the Choose Freedom Program: Finding Truth About Alcohol. This episode will help you:

    • Recognize the false beliefs that led you into unhealthy patterns

    • Identify how cultural normalization and cognitive dissonance keep you stuck
    • Discover the freedom that comes from aligning your thoughts with God’s truth
