      FORWARD

      This is a workbook designed to provide a faith-based outlook to those struggling to break free from addiction. The content is based on the assumption that those utilizing it already have faith in God and believe his Word (the Bible) is truth. This book is meant for those using it to apply simple and practical elements of His word to live free from the bondage of addiction.

      INTRODUCTION

      From a young age I knew I wanted to make a difference and positively impact the world. Who wouldn’t? When I was 19, much like many millennials, I tossed around several ideas of what I wanted to do with my life. It always came back to one thing; helping people. That same year I began a program to become a substance abuse counselor to start helping those struggling from addiction. I was blessed to be raised in a Christian home and to be guarded from many of the things this world has to offer, including indulging in drugs and alcohol. Some may wonder why I chose to work in this field with no firsthand experience. I have seen the effects addiction can have. Addiction hurts, not only those using, but their friends and family members as well. What I have also seen is the power of God to completely deliver, set free and break every chain of bondage of those struggling from addiction. My prayer for this workbook is to see just that take place in your life. If you are struggling from addiction or any stronghold in your life and feel like you have tried everything- this is for you!
