Why Have Faith in Recovery?

🔊 Listen to this

There is no denying that addiction recovery can be tough sometimes. It can be hard to break old habits, confront problems, and change your way of thinking and living. But making these changes is a critical part of building a sober lifestyle. Having faith can help you stay motivated and stay on track. It gives you beliefs to hold on to.

You’re never alone when you are connected with faith. God is always there beside you, and you can start up a conversation anytime, anywhere. During your brightest days and darkest nights, he will lead you through it.

Having faith allows you to ask for help. You don’t have to have all of the answers. You just have to trust someone enough to open up and ask them to help you get the treatment you need. Family and friends want to see you succeed. Even if you don’t believe in yourself, they believe in you.

You can sort through your thoughts while talking to God. It empowers you to look at things from a new perspective and gain clarity on what you should do. With strong faith, you recognize that things might not work out exactly as you expected, but rather as they should.

Faith teaches you to forgive yourself and others. Everyone makes mistakes. Holding grudges or beating yourself up over the past doesn’t help you move forward. It is time to let go and focus on what you can do to make amends, build stronger relationships, and love yourself and others. Forgiveness is a powerful thing.

Finally, faith connects you to others. You automatically have interests in common. Spiritual relationships can provide you with encouragement, motivation, and comfort. Long-term recovery is possible. Letting others in, deepening your connection to God, and keeping a positive outlook can help you thrive in recovery and build a future you love.
