“It's like we basically, you know, I asked God, it's a decision that you make. I would always want that drug, but that's not the case because when you cry out to God and he can see in your heart, how desperate you are, that you want change and you're tired of living that way. That's when he really comes to the rescue.”
Ever wondered how faith and determination can turn lives around? Meet Alex and Angela Gilmore, a couple whose journey through addiction and recovery is nothing short of remarkable.
