It was then that I truly discovered how beautifully letting go and letting god can work.
When addiction strikes, it doesn't just affect the individual but ripples through their entire support network. In this episode of 'A Caminhada', hosts Teresa Neves and Nancy Neves Burns recount the poignant story of Bobby, a loved one whose struggle with addiction tested the boundaries of love, patience, and faith.
