Everyone experiences difficult periods in life. However, the Lord is aware that it is only through hardship, endurance, and our capacity to conquer it that we get stronger.
Scripture can increase faith and provide stability and motivation to seek help and stay persistent in a commitment to sobriety, regardless of whether a person is struggling with cravings, frightened about relapsing, or trying to start over in the wake of addiction.
We have optimism and courage while recovering because we know there is always an opportunity for rebirth and hope, and God’s love will uphold us.
