Hope and Healing

The hope of healing and trusting in a Higher Power can be difficult for addicts to embrace; anger, fear, hurt, isolation, and resentment are just of few of the potential roadblocks that keep someone from engaging in recovery. Connecting healing to a Higher Power is most of the time a foreign concept for those in active addiction; constantly battling the idea that recovery is achievable without the help of others. Developing an open mind to consider change, challenging one’s beliefs, and taking action is not an easy task, but it is important for those desiring long-term recovery to understand there is hope and healing. One must be able to hope and trust that there is a lasting recovery for themselves, that they are worth it, and that embracing the concept of a Higher Power is part of the process to restore sanity and gain a lasting recovery.
