It's not always easy to talk about having a loved one, co worker, friend, someone from school, or an acquaintance who has a substance abuse problem. Many want to hide the problem from others. The shame, guilt, and embarrassment can become overwhelming and too much to even repeat. There are many sobriety groups and nar anon meetings that's available, however, some would rather choice to share their thoughts, feelings, and fears without a face to face surrounding. Here is a place that will encourage you, not judge and give you resources to help you figure your way through the madness. https://www.christianpoetsandwriters.org/support-groups/hope-and-recovery
Thank you for sharing your experience, strength, and hope. It's good to hear from people who are transparent about their journey with Christ. Please feel free to share anytime, as many times as you'd like. I would love to have you among the support group.
Hello Shira and thanks for sharing this information. I am a recovered addict and understand the process required to find the solution to addiction. The relapse rate is high and I had one relapse after eighteen years that lasted eight years. Today I have seven years clean and sober. My path began with Narcotics Anonymous in 1985. But my lack of trust in God cost me sobriety in 2003 and got sober again in 2011. God used the Twelve Step Programs of NA and AA to bring me to Christ. Keep doing what you're doing.
Yes will do!
Thanks for giving yourself to this ministry Shira. God richly bless you! x
I Truly Understand!!!
