How to Fight Fear When You Love an Addict

Yet I have learned to fight fear well with God’s help. I want to share what I’ve learned with you today so you can also find hope and healing.
When Addiction Afflicts Your Family
Are you a member of a family afflicted by addiction? For my entire life, that’s been my story. I’ve never been addicted myself, but my loved ones’ addictions have had a traumatic, lasting impact on my life.
This summer, I began studying about alcoholism and its effects on family members. The sad news is that even if you never drink a drop of alcohol, your loved one’s drinking problem can afflict almost every area of your life. Its effects won’t go away unless you receive professional help.
The good news is that if addiction afflicts your family, you can find hope and healing in God’s Word. I’m on a journey of recovery now. By meditating on a specific Bible passage, I’ve gained the courage to seek healing and reach for hope, and I’ve found a new kind of peace. I want to share what I’ve learned with you today.
I’m writing about how we can get well as family members of addicted loved ones at Devotable today. Here’s a peek at my post, and I hope you’ll head over to read the rest.
