A Life-Changing Connection | A YouVersion Impact Story

A Life-Changing Connection

I first came across Finding Hope through the YouVersion Bible App. I remember searching for something — anything — that could help me as I was walking through my husband’s addiction. I typed in “families of alcoholics” and “families of addiction,” and scrolled through plans until I found God’s Promises for Families of Drug Addicts and Alcoholics.

I was in such a low place at that time, feeling completely alone in the chaos of my husband’s addiction. But as I read through that plan, it spoke directly to my heart. When I reached the end and saw the link to find a Finding Hope support group near me, I clicked it without hesitation. Until then, I didn’t know support groups like Finding Hope existed. 

Since joining Finding Hope, my world has completely changed. My husband is now seven months sober, and I’m still using the tools and lessons I learned through Finding Hope to focus on my own healing.

I still revisit older YouVersion plans and read all the news ones Finding Hope publishes to remind myself of what I’ve learned. They’ve taught me how to support my husband while still caring for myself, and how to lean on God’s promises no matter what season we’re in. Finding Hope has truly helped me grow and develop my character. It’s taught me to respect my husband’s recovery process while continuing my own.
