Hi, John! Thanks be to God that He led you to this site. There is no limit to what God can do with a life surrendered to Him through faith in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away; behold, all things are become new." We can't do anything in our own strength, but can "do all things in Christ, who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13). Many churches have something called Celebrate Recovery for people who have committed to dying to the habits and addictions of drugs, alcohol, and the like. Also, check out whether or not you have a Link Care (an income-based Christian counseling service) in your area. It sound like, through various channels, God has been trying to get your attention. Praise Him that you see the need to fill the void in your life with Christ and the new and abundant life He offers instead of with drugs and alcohol.
I will be praying for you. Please keep in touch with us here at web-church and let us know what God does.
Loving Him, ><Linda>
