It's like you're kind of trying to negotiate with God, and that just doesn't work out. God doesn't get anybody sober without having a job for them to do.
Imagine facing a serious work accident that leaves you in constant pain. For JP from Dallas, Texas, this wasn't just a nightmare scenario—it was his reality. In this gripping episode of 'Real Recovery', JP opens up about how his injury led him down a dark path of addiction to pain pills. But this isn't just a story about struggle; it's a tale of redemption and finding faith in the midst of chaos.
JP candidly shares how the pain pills initially seemed like a lifeline, offering temporary relief but ultimately trapping him in a cycle of dependency. He talks about the toll his addiction took on his relationships and his own sense of self-worth. The turning point? Finding solace and strength in his faith. Through heartfelt anecdotes, JP reveals how immersing himself in scripture and embracing new, healthier habits helped him break free from addiction.
He emphasizes the importance of 'putting off the old and putting on the new', shedding light on the transformative power of spiritual healing. One of the most inspiring aspects of JP's journey is his belief that God doesn't just help people get sober—He has a purpose for them. For JP, that purpose includes speaking to others who are battling similar demons, turning his past struggles into a beacon of hope for others.
If you're seeking inspiration or know someone who is struggling with addiction, JP's story offers a powerful message of hope and redemption. Tune in to hear how faith and community support can lead to profound change and a renewed sense of purpose.
