Adam’s Story - Healing After Addiction

Adam says that admitting he needed God in his life was his chance for change. Exposure to alcohol as a teenager had led to years of addiction, and this, coupled with PTSD after a workplace accident, resulted in suicidal thoughts. At his lowest, he found a lifeline through Alcoholics Anonymous and a new beginning at The Salvation Army. Through meaningful relationships, spiritual healing and prayer, Adam now has a close walk with the Lord. He is working to be the father his children deserve and embracing a peaceful life grounded in faith.
