Fighting Addiction with Resilience
“Though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.” Psalm 37:24
Resilience: A quality that empowers us to face challenges, adapt to change, and emerge stronger from life’s storms.
I don’t think there’s a challenge any tougher than losing a loved one to addiction. And oh, how I understand that it can be so difficult to keep your focus and trust in God. But having faith during these challenges is part of a larger purpose that can instill hope in our resilient journey.
As we know all too well, resiliency is the ability to cope with change, loss, and trauma. Building resiliency takes time and effort and is a lengthy process. Setbacks are a natural part of the process, too. If you experience a setback, it’s important to be mindful and recognize it. Be patient with yourself and intentionally focus on self-care. It just might be during your darkest moments that you discover your inner strength.
As we navigate difficulties, let’s remember to lean into our faith and connect with a community that has similar experiences and that provides a sense of belonging. In my opinion, there’s no better community than Hope After Loss. I truly believe God put things and people into place so I would be introduced to Hope After Loss just at the time I needed it most.
There are incredible members in our Hope After Loss community whose stories of resilience, kindness, and determination inspire us all. Let’s lean into our supportive network, and together we will be a beacon of hope that will propel one another towards brighter horizons.
“Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.” James 1:12
With hope,
