Testimony: From addiction to freedom through Christ
5 years ago today, I was at rock bottom. Alcohol had destroyed my marriage, my career, and nearly my life. I had pushed away everyone who loved me. I was sleeping in my car, drinking myself into oblivion every night. Then one night, at 2AM in a parking lot, "Found in the Flames" came on the radio. I don't even know how—I think God orchestrated it. The lyrics wrecked me: "In the fire, You found me / When I couldn't find myself" I sobbed for hours. And I cried out to God for the first time in years. The road to recovery wasn't easy. I went to rehab, joined a recovery group at church, and started rebuilding one day at a time. "Breathe Again" became my daily anthem. Today: - 5 years sober - Reconciled with my family - Leading a recovery ministry - Married to my best friend who I met in church If you're struggling with addiction, please reach out. To me, to anyone. There is hope. God specializes in redemption. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." - 2 Corinthians 5:17
