I decided to totally commit myself to god. And now my wife, my kids- you know, they totally support me and my whole family's- coming back to restoration, just because I, you know, committed to god and I'm just truly blessed to be here at the refuge.
Picture a life shattered by addiction, only to be rebuilt through faith and family. In this episode of 'Relational Recovery', we meet a man who faced the abyss of heroin addiction after a sports injury led him down a dark path with pain medication. When he lost his father and aunt suddenly, it triggered a relapse that almost consumed him. But this isn't just a story of despair; it's one of hope and redemption.
With the unwavering support of his wife and family, and a renewed commitment to God, he began his journey back to life. Through the comforting words of the biblical book of Philippians, the episode underscores the belief that God will see His good work through to completion. This episode masterfully blends Christian spirituality with psychological insights, creating a supportive space for those grappling with addiction.
If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on overcoming life's toughest challenges, this episode offers both in abundance.
