The Road to Recovery: A Story of Addiction in Marriage -Barbara Bice :: [Episode 286]

The Road to Recovery: A Story of Addiction in Marriage -Barbara Bice :: [Episode 286]



September is Addiction Awareness month, and today we bring you a story from Barbara Bice of our Montgomery community. Life took a sudden turn when her husband became addicted to cocaine after years of marriage. An era of hardship and heartache ensued for Barbara and her family.

Listen and be amazed to hear how, even while her husband journeyed to recovery, Barbara was on her own path to healing and forgiveness. She leaned into the Lord over the long haul, and He revealed deeper struggles and battles within her own soul. When life wasn't pretty, Barbara learned to say, "His ways are not my ways."

In this episode you will learn:

- Never let the giants in your life take away your hope!

- When in a crisis, focus on the "here and now" and avoid going down the "rabbit trails" that haven't occurred.

- If you are in a dark place, just wait - God is still in the business of miracles!
