When Habits Hurt, Heaven Heals: Learning to Stay I Used Escape—God Met Me There

Sometimes the habits hurting us do not look dangerous at first.Sometimes they look comforting. Like relief. Like escape. Like survival.But underneath the habit, there is usually a deeper ache: loneliness, fear, shame, disconnection, exhaustion, or the desperate need to feel okay for even a moment.In When Habits Hurt, Heaven Heals, Emily Boissonnault-Dhaliwal shares a deeply personal journey through hidden struggles, dissociation, emotional pain, faith, healing, and the quiet courage of learning to stay when running away felt easier.This is not a story about perfect recovery. It is a story about surviving long enough to discover that healing often begins in ordinary moments: Eating when you do not feel like it. Sleeping instead of spiraling. Telling the truth. Praying before panicking. Choosing people over isolation. Staying.With honesty, vulnerability, and faith, this memoir explores the patterns people carry in silence and the grace that can still meet them there.For readers struggling with emotional pain, self-destructive patterns, loneliness, mental health battles, shame, or questions about where God is in suffering, this book offers hope without pretending healing is simple.Not through perfection. Not through control. But through grace.Because sometimes learning to stay might be the beginning of everything.
