Addiction has controlled your life for such a long time, it is difficult to imagine what your life would be like without addiction as the main character. Think of addiction to drugs and alcohol as the main character in a book, and it is easy to guess at the ending of the story. But with the help of a quality Christian recovery program, the story’s ending can be a happy one, rather than a frightening finish to a nightmarish tale.
Christian recovery programs enable the addict to embrace a fresh new life and actively work toward achieving the goal of sobriety. These programs have become increasingly popular choices for addiction recovery precisely because they offer a different approach to tackling drug and
alcohol addiction. It is, however, important to remember that Christian recovery programs are not a quick fix to a problem that developed over time.
Just like any other
treatment program, Christian recovery programs demand hard work, patience and dedication from the addict. The addict must truly want to usher in a new day and be prepared to work on every aspect of their life to achieve that goal. Christian recovery program focus not only on the physical aspect to the addiction - they ask the addict to examine the emotional, mental and spiritual components of their lives and put their recovery in God’s hands.
The simple act of turning your recovery over to God is a powerful one, but often difficult for many people. The rewards, however, are without limits and priceless. Learning to live a rich and full life without the binding chains of addiction are the gift that no one would want to return!
