Christian Drug Rehab - Personal Testimonies to the Power of the Lord

One of the most moving parts of a church service can be the personal testimonies, when people attest to the profound difference that Christ has made in their lives.

And those who have been to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting will likely have been touched by the personal stories of those struggling to battle their addiction, as they reach out to a higher power.

Here on the internet you can also find moving testimonies of success in beating drug addictions, at various of the Christian drug rehab sites.

Here is a small selection of these. No names are used. They come from the following centers: Eternal Awakenings Christian Drug Rehab, New Life Spirit Recovery Treatment Center, Shiloh Ministries and Pacific Hills Treatment Centers.

* There is nothing more terrifying than helplessly watching a child slowly self-destruct and possibly die from addiction, unwilling or unable to see his way to help, drug and alcohol treatment and freedom. I never thought I would see such beauty, joy and hope in my son after years of intense despair, hopelessness and a near-death experience. When I received a letter from M after only 10 days of alcohol and drug treatment telling me that he had "put his pride aside and prayed” I felt like my entire life had been worthwhile. That was the single most precious moment of my life – even better than his birth! I had been praying for M to turn his life over to God for 7 or 8 years. That day was his 24th birthday and I got the gift. We were celebrating rebirth on the day of his birth.

* I started praying to God and seeking Him with all my heart. Now I am sober and completely rid of my desire for cocaine. I am greatful that my family chose a rehab that allows the Lord to display His healing power. I am not the same person I once was and I give all the glory to God. Truly, He has put a new song in my heart.

* Growing up I went to church every Sunday and accepted the Lord into my heart at a very young age. I loved the Lord and had a relationship with Him, but as I got older a gap began to form. I started to live according to my will, not His. I really started to feel like a "loser" and got to a place where I was living a double life. On one hand, I was a wife, mother and "involved" church person. But on the other hand, I was an alcoholic and addict. I kept praying for the strength to stop my destructive ways, but the Lord wanted me at a place of surrender and I hadn’t quite reached that place yet. When I saw a friend who suffered from addiction with the ”glow of God” on her because she found herself in Christ, I knew I wanted what she had. It was at that point I become ready to start down the path of finding a true relationship with Christ as well. After all my attempts of trying to get things right on my own, I finally was ready to submit everything to my Heavenly Father. After that act of submission the Lord revealed Himself to me in ways I had never experienced before. The confidence, peace and love I have today as a result is amazing. For the first time in my life I totally understand my identity in Christ. I now love the person God has made me to be.

* I finally hit rock bottom, after a six year drug habit to meth and crack cocaine. I cried out to God & He arranged my entrance into Shiloh Ministries in January 2005. Then the true meaning of living life really began. I realized while I was there that there is more to being a man than just being born a male. The LORD used the awesome staff at Shiloh in helping me deal with life’s disappointments by leaning on Him and seeking comfort in His Word. Quitting was never an option, even when a tragic truck accident took my dad’s life six months into the program. It was God who revealed to me that I needed to remain at Shiloh. It turned out to be the best year of my life, and every year since, life has become better and better.
