How Faith Fortifies Recovery
Faith can be a powerful and effective tool in addiction recovery and is defined as “confidence or trust in a person or thing.†You don’t have to be religious or belong to a specific religion to have faith, but it can be instrumental in your recovery process. Faith and recovery go hand in hand, because having faith can teach you to trust in the people who are there to help you, and most importantly, trust in yourself that you can overcome addiction.
The first step in addiction recovery is taking a leap of faith and admitting you have a problem. The most effective tool in this process is the 12 Step program. When the 12 Step program is combined with faith, you will realize that a higher power can help you achieve your goals of overcoming substance abuse.
Faith-based recovery is scientifically proven to help those not only recover, but to continue and have a long-lasting recovery. Faith and recovery can guide you through the program and also into the future when you have to face difficult situations on your own.
“For I know the plans I have for you,†declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.†– Jeremiah 29:11-13

1.A gift that keeps on giving
While the thought of seeking treatment for drugs and alcohol before the holidays and being separated from family and friends during this time may be difficult, it’s important to keep the big picture in mind. The best gift you could give your family, as well as yourself, is many more sober holidays to come. Why not start with this year and get help now?
2. “Sticking it out†won’t help
Although many people struggling with drug and alcohol addiction attempt to “keep it together†for the holidays, postponing treatment until a later time, the problems won’t go away. In fact, sticking it out for the holidays may make things worse. As families get together to celebrate and friends toast to a New Year, drugs and alcohol may become even more readily available than before. Drinking in excess may be considered “normal†during this time, but to someone in active addiction, this can mean disaster. Why take the chance, when you can get help for drug and alcohol addiction today?
3. Staying out of trouble
Research shows that accidents and arrests resulting from drug and alcohol use increase during the holidays. DUI arrests increase by up to 20% in some states, and charges such as domestic violence and assault also become more frequent. Drugs and alcohol are often cited as contributing factors in these cases. Entering substance abuse treatment before the holidays may help keep your record clean.
