You are not your addiction, and you are not too far gone. Jesus came for exactly this, to set the captive free. If you want someone to pray with you as you take the next step, we are here.
You are not carrying this alone
Whatever help you find, and we hope you find real help, you are also welcome to something the organizations above cannot give: a friend who has borne every burden. Jesus said, ‘Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.’ You do not have to believe anything first, or pray a certain way, or clean yourself up. You can simply come, tell him the truth, and ask. If you would like someone to pray with you, ours is here.
