Recovery can happen! You just have to believe it!

During this journey of warning the youth of the dangers of alcohol and drug use, and helping those in recovery to stay positive, I have learned one thing for sure.  "The enemy" is using alcohol and drugs to deter many people away from the path in life that has been planned for them.  It breaks my heart to look at the innocent teens who think that drinking one or two beers is just no big deal.  It breaks my heart to hear these people struggling with addiction tell us that they tried something one time, and it grabbed them so tight that they have fought for years to get away from it.  It is not simple anymore, it is a spiritual warfare, and we have to keep fighting.  We have met many people who have been on this journey of addcition for many years, yet they are winning.  Do not give up!!  It  can happen!!  You can win this battle!!  Your loved one can break free from addiction and the chains that hold him/her!!  We will not quit fighting this war until God has restored everything that has been stolen.  Just a few thoughts today.........
