Drug Rehab That Offers Real Relief

What is it that causes us to want to use something that allows us to escape from our regular state of mine? Could it be a feeling of loss, insecurity, or emptiness? Why do we continue to hurt ourselves and those around us that care so much for our well being?
I want to tell you a little bit about my own thought process when I used to be an addict. I say used to, because I have truly been healed. I know what you are thinking, there are those out there that facilitate various meetings that will tell you how truly impossible it is to ever be completely healed from the terrible cravings and nightmares that belong to the everyday lifestyle of a recovering addict. I have sat throught enough alcoholics annonymous meetings to know what they teach. Keep in mind that I DO NOT condone going to hang out with your old addict friends, and believing that you can still partake in activities that can lead you right back your hopelessly addicted self. I am simply saying that there is a way to take away that nasty old craving.
I want to tell you that I have more than enough experience to speak on this subject. I was introduced to my first in-patient drug rehab when I was a senior in high school. I was the first one of my friends to start drinking. I was always trying to find a new way to get out of my own head. I knew I would never commit suicide so I looked for every other way I could think of to make the pain go away. The pain I am referring to is just living my everyday life. I was a fairly popular kid growing up. I had lots of friends and opportunities to do whatever a normal kid would, but for some reason I was just bored of life, and felt that nothing could ever fill the void, that was apparently wide open.
There was one thing that would always hold me back from continuing to complete my drug rehab journey. "WHY"? "WHY" should I stop using? It felt much better to use. This is why no drug rehab program would ever work for me. The only "WHY" I could ever come up with was the fact that I didn't want to spend anymore time locked up. I quickly found out that this reason alone was completely worthless.
The only "WHY" that finally worked for me was a "WHY" that this world could not offer. It seemed to me like every day was Monday. I had to really find a power greater that anything this in this world.
If you want to truly be cured of this curse, that is addiction, you need to find your "WHY". It needs to be so powerful that it gives you incentive to stay clean every day for the rest of your life. It has to be so great that it makes you want to reshape every piece of your being from the inside out.
This can sound overwhelming to some, but this is the only way that you can ever hope to be rid of this burden. This is the only way that you can be free from drug rehab centers, and hurt family memebers over and over again.
To put it in more detail. The only people I have ever seen really get away from addiction are those that put their trust in God our eternal father. He has promised us riches far greater than we can possibly imagine if we but believe in his name, and strive to do what he would want us to do.
I testify that no drug rehab center on this planet can help you if you don't find your WHY. I have chosen to follow my savior. I promise, with all that I am, that he lives, and he has truly given me the strength I need to be healed from this terrible condition that has plagued my life for many years.
My friend, if you have truly tried every drug rehab program out there with little results, you owe it to yourself to give Jesus a chance to bring about the same change in you that he did in me.
