Recovery from addiction requires discipline, honesty, courage, humility, strength of character, integrity, and maturity. We build these personality characteristics by building a relationship with God. You learn discipline from Him; He's a master at making you face the consequences of your bad decisions. You learn honesty from Him. You can't play games with God; He's not stupid.

The more you hang around with Jesus, the more you become like Him. He gives you courage, strength of character, and integrity. Your personality is strengthened so that you can have self control even though you may have permanently damaged your mind or body.

The blind men and lepers called out to Jesus "Son of David, have mercy on us, we are blind, we are sick, we are dying" Jesus touched them. They were "unclean," but Jesus touched them and healed them. He can touch you and heal you too.

We build a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. He suffered and died to put you in a right relationship with God. He took upon Himself the wrath of God, the punishment for our rebellion so we could come to God as our Father and be accepted as His child. Invite Him into your life with a simple prayer.

Say, "Lord Jesus, I believe you died for me, and I believe you live again. I believe you have forgiven me and I believe you can help me defeat my addiction. Come into my life and fill me with your Spirit, help me organize my life around you."

Drug addiction is not a hopeless condition. It takes a lot of courage to quit a drug habit. We have tremendous respect for anyone who can do it. Facing yourself takes courage. Changing your life takes courage. No one has more courage than the Man who carried the cross to Calvary, and He is willing to share it with anyone who asks.

If you prayed that prayer or need help with your recovery, please contact Alabama Teen Challenge.
