Years of addiction to alcohol, meth, and pills led to total collapse — and how Jesus stepped in and radically transformed everything. This story is for anyone who’s relapsed more times than they can count and wondered, “Why can’t I stay sober?”

🕊️ If you’ve ever asked…

- “Why do I keep relapsing after getting sober?”

- “How do I quit alcohol when nothing else works?”

- “Can Jesus really help me overcome addiction?”

- “Is there hope for someone addicted to meth and alcohol?”

- “How do I stop using drugs if I’ve already failed before?”

- “Can God still use me after everything I’ve done?”

- “Why do Christians still struggle with addiction?”

- “How do I surrender addiction to Jesus?”

- “What’s the difference between religion and real transformation?”

This isn’t just a sobriety story. It’s a resurrection story.
