Learned Helplessness

While it may not directly align with the concept of "learned helplessness," I've observed a trend among many young and middle-aged men within the Lord's Recovery. Many struggle to maintain steady employment or adequately provide for their families. It's disheartening to see a pattern of passivity, where instead of actively pursuing solutions, they resort to complaining about adverse circumstances such as a tough economy or unfair employers. Rather than taking responsibility, they wait passively for someone else to intervene. They won't even adequately pray, fast or have faith in God's promises in his Holy Scriptures.

Interestingly, this contrasts starkly with individuals in another (non-recovery) church where I currently attend where such situations seem nonexistent.

It's clear to me that these men in the Lord's recovery got damaged by confusing teachings and philosophy of Lord's Recovery.
