The Real Answer to AddictionSample

Addiction is a worldwide epidemic. 

Over 60,000 people die each year from drugs.[1] Over 19 million American adults are currently battling a substance abuse disorder.[2] All of these numbers are the highest ever recorded. Not to mention the other addictions to things like pornography, food, and smartphones.

For a big portion of my life, I was one of these statistics. I lived solely to fill the gaping hole in my soul with anything I could get my hands on. Heroin was the only thing that seemed to work; at least for a season.

If you are currently struggling with any type of addiction, you know the pain of waking up every day, desperately empty, trying your hardest to just do the right thing and not give into the desire, only to find yourself caving in yet again. You may have burned bridges with your parents, friends, and maybe even your spouse or kids. Depending on the specific object of your addiction, you may have severe health and legal issues. I couldn’t even stand not to be high or drunk even for a few hours. I couldn't stand to be in my own skin. All pathways from here look dark and hopeless.

My hope over the next few days is to not only provide you with the pathway to real freedom from addiction, but also to show you the real answer to the underlying emptiness that is our real problem. Whatever your situation, there is hope.

Freedom is possible.
