Breaking Free From Addictions

Twenty-one million Americans are in recovery. Most of them needed more than willpower to get there.Addiction is not a character flaw. It is not a failure of faith. It is a brain disease - measurable, treatable, and beatable - that is also, at its core, a crisis of the soul. Breaking Free From Addictions brings clinical research and faith into a single, accessible conversation for the person in addiction, the family walking alongside them, and the pastor trying to help.You'll find honest science - the neuroscience of craving, the evidence behind every major treatment approach, what the Twelve Steps, Celebrate Recovery, and Teen Challenge each offer and how they fit together. And alongside it, robust theology: what the Bible says about shame, identity, forgiveness, and the community that makes long-term recovery possible.The treatment is available. The grace has always been there. The recovery is possible - for you, or for someone you love.For the person in addiction. For the family who loves them.
