Addiction is a vicious cycle that leaves us feeling broken, trapped and helpless. This is something that people struggle with their entire lives.
The question is, how do you break free and overcome addiction?
The short answer is, reach out for help. Very few people can win this battle on their own. Each person that wishes to stay sober must decide to start the long journey on the road to recovery.
The road to recovery is not a straight forward path, it's full of twists and turns, peaks and valleys and plenty of rough patches.
But along the way, you will be met with the most incredible, rewarding and life altering moments. If you continue down this process of reclamation you will reach a point in life that you never imagined possible.
Along the way there will incredible highs and crushing lows, there will be breakthroughs and setbacks, there will be triumphs and trials. Through all of it, there is only one thing to do.
Keep moving forward, one step at a time, one day at a time.
The first step of NA/ AA (Narcotics and Alcoholics Anonymous) is:
1. We admitted we were powerless over our addiction — that our lives had become unmanageable.
Until someone can get to a point where they realize they have a problem, they need help and they are willing to do the hard work and make the big changes in life to get and stay sober, there is no much that can be done.
Here at Rising Above Ministries Slave Lake we have our doors and our hearts open to help people overcome addiction, break cycles of defeat and find hope beyond brokenness.
We are here for when your ready to take that first step and start this journey of recovery, we are here to help you through hard moments and are happy to celebrate all the wins, we are here to help people heal, to learn and to grow into the best person they are capable of becoming.
