May 23, 2021 – He broke free of the addiction at the age of 19 when he joined Teen Challenge, a Christian-based addiction service that offers rehabilitation from drug addiction by providing “transformation — not treatment.”
His time spent at the Teen Challenge in Pennsylvania amounted to six months in the late 1960s, instilling in him the idea that was the foundation of his book — not all addiction needs to be treated with medication.
“In the course of researching for my book, I found various studies that claim that over 65 percent of addicts overcome their addiction without treatment. Now, I know that’s counterintuitive to being an addiction therapist,” Carlin said with a laugh. “But the studies were out there, so I figured I was on to something.”
In his book, he goes on to describe his spiritual keys for overcoming addiction, going into detail about things such as the power of meditation and confession and forgiveness.
