| Summary: | This article reports on a pilot piece of field research exploring the experiences of 11 volunteers, nominated by their support workers, who participated in semi-structured interviews and a workshop, as they approached the end of their engagement with a Christian Addiction Recovery Programme (CRP). It initiates a conversation concerning the re-shaping of prevailing practice in CRPs, which provide examples of change, sometimes credited to the personal faith of the participant, but do not present evidence about which elements of Christian faith and practice participants find most helpful. This could be a missed opportunity to fully appreciate Christian faith as a crucial element of sustainable change. |
