It can be hard, in the depths of addiction amid the ravages of substance abuse, to find any cause for hope. Things are likely, by contrast, to seem rather bleak in such circumstances, with little room for optimism or expectation of help. But despair is the enemy of recovery, and it is not wise to discount the possibility of finding a way out of addiction, particularly with the help of faith and love.
The best way to ensure of finding hope in the midst of chaos is by trusting God’s plan for your family.
Addiction is a pestilence that affects not only the addict, but everyone in their orbit, particularly the family. The addict may feel the physical effects of substance abuse and its personal ravages, but the wider effects of their addiction are felt far more widely: lies, betrayals, deceptions and the tragedy of watching a loved one fall apart in the throes of drug or alcohol abuse.
It can be enough to push anyone to lose hope amid all the chaos that this scourge of addiction brings in its wake. But with God’s help and guidance, there is never a reason to lose hope and salvation is still possible even in the darkest of nights.
Against addiction, the efforts of the hapless addict and their loved ones can seem inadequate, but God is more than enough for addiction and can help guide your family through the stormy seas of any ordeal. He has a plan for you and your family, for the addict and everyone around them, and trusting in His plan will help you overcome the worst of addiction’s effects.
This does not mean you can simply sit back and hope for the best. You need to seek treatment, to find help for the addict and the extended family. There will be the struggles of detox and rehab, of therapy and support groups and all else that is involved with a clinical substance abuse program.
But it does mean you don’t have to go into that alone. You can know that God is there for you, in your corner, working to help you get through the worst of addiction’s ravages and come out the other side to a lasting recovery.
Where despair could send others into a tailspin of hopelessness, resigned to substance abuse in lieu of even attempting to get help, you can rely on God’s plan to know you have no cause of such despair and that a return to good health and recovery is possible.
