Helping Others Overcome Addictions: How God's Grace Brings Lasting Freedom
Quick Overview
Does Christianity have an answer for addiction?

Steve McVey, also a pastor, repeatedly dished out the same advice Mike received, with similarly poor results...
...Until, in their frustration, God led them back to basic, addiction-breaking truths of His Word. The authors explain these for readers who want to help someone or who struggle themselves, because freedom from addiction is found only when Christians
- fully believe what God says about their identity
- move beyond the 12-Step concept of inescapable "addict identity"
- stop harboring unforgiveness, get radically right with God, and dwell in who they are in Christ, which excludes engaging in addictive behaviors as a lifestyle
Material on codependency is included, as is information on implementing recovery/support groups for those leaving addiction and starting to live in God's glorious freedom.
