Addiction Help

Dear friend,

​

If you are looking for a way out of addiction, you are not alone. This website is a free resource created to encourage you and help you find real, practical support.

​

I want you to know this from the start. I have struggled with addiction for most of my life. I was deep in it. By the grace of God, I am now clean and sober, and today I walk alongside others who are seeking the same freedom.

​

I once saw these words written on a wall:

​

Addiction is giving up everything for one thing.
Sobriety is giving up one thing for everything.

​

Those words stayed with me because living clean has brought real joy and real peace. I am no longer controlled by the constant need to feed the addiction. That is my prayer for you as well.

​

You are not alone in this. I believe God can help you just as He helped me. On this website, you will find videos, links, and a free book, along with encouragement and resources. I am also just a message away if you need support or spiritual encouragement.

​

The Bible reminds us that God will never leave us nor forsake us. He is with us in every step. Even before a word is on our tongue, He already knows what we are going to say.

 

Trust God to guide you each step of the way. Call on Him in prayer, and He will answer. And remember the words of Jesus:
“If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:36).

​

Hold on to that hope. God has not given up on you, and neither have I.

If I can help you in any way, please reach out.

​

With respect, love, and hope,

Brother John Elving
