About This Episode

You stopped using. You're technically clean. But you're still empty. Still white knuckling it. Still wondering why sobriety doesn't feel like freedom. The drugs were never the real problem. They were covering the soul wounds underneath. Betrayal. Abuse. Loss. The only thing that fills the void is the presence of Christ and the hard work of forgiving the people who hurt you.

If this encouraged you, there's more.

Every article, every podcast, every family we help — it's made possible by people who care.
