About two years ago, I went through the toughest time in my life. I found out I had been exposed to Toxic mold in my home which I loved. Slowly I was getting sicker and sicker.
During this time, I met a man and fell in love. While dealing with my mold exposure illness, I eventually found out much later down the line that the man I loved was a very well-hidden drug addict. To say the least, I was in a very bad place in life, as I was already very deeply in love with this man, and was too ill to leave him.
I felt I was done for. I felt so stuck. Doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me, and the man I loved was getting worse and worse. And 99% of our relationship, I didn’t know what the problem was. I just knew something was off – (losing his job, money went missing, personality changes). I didn’t know what to do. I had been so focused on myself and my situation that I had pushed God to the side.
One night in desperation, I fell to my knees and prayed for a miracle, as I felt stuck and needed help so desperately. Not even a week later, his father whom I hadn’t met as of yet, came into town to surprise us with a visit one night. And truly, he saved me. He came that night because he had suspicions that his son was using drugs again, and ultimately came to save me. He told me the truth about his son and his drug use off and on for the past 20 years, told me to leave that night, that his son is sick.
Because of God sending his father, giving me the direction, truth and compassion that I needed, I somehow mustered up the courage to leave. It was extremely heart wrenching to see how the man I love got worse and worse. He couldn’t handle the separation, so his drug use got worse. But, God kept me strong.
At this point, I knew God was real. More real than I ever thought he could be. I moved in with my mother and I am healing from the mold exposure. He saved me from the insanity of drug addiction. And, since I’ve prayed, prayed and prayed some more to save my ex, he has worked a miracle. I say a miracle because it was. His addiction had gotten so bad, that he was living in a drug house, had lost multiple jobs and was dealing drugs. It was a nightmare come true. Every single friend or acquaintance he had, had given up on him.
Except one person.
He organized a huge intervention for my ex, which ultimately saved his life as he had just recently overdosed before the invention had happened. This wonderful man pulled some strings and got him to one of the best rehab facilities in the U.S. He’s now out of rehab and living in sober living. He’s found a great job and seems to be completely transformed.
He’s recovering and I pray every day that God can completely take away his addiction and heal his body, mind and soul. If any of you have been exposed to addiction, you probably know that it definitely seems to be brought on by some kind of evil. It changes them and makes them into the most frightening horror movie you’ve ever seen.
I do love this man, and hope and pray that God can completely cure his addiction. I believe this is possible. God really is amazing.
Just had to share my story.
Thank you for reading.
Hi
Im glad things are going well for you and for your newfound knowledge about how truly amazing God is. On thing Ive realized about most of the sort of negative situations Ive found myself in is that, they always push me to my knees and thats something I ll always be grateful for. Sometimes God usually wants to reach us through such experiences. Its something worth thinking about.
I ll keep you in my prayers
With love
Fred
Thank you so much, Fred. I absolutely agree with you!
I pray this for a guy I ended up catching feelings and love for. I pray everyday for God to open his eyes. Negative thoughts do come but I’m not giving up on him even tho me and him not talking right now. I have faith he’ll find Jesus and turn away from his addictions.
I’m so sorry to hear you are in a similar situation. My guy really put me through the ringer and I’ve just about seen all an addict is capable of doing. There isn’t one thing you can do to help an addict. You have to continue to give it all the God. Don’t give up on praying for him… God has a plan and he is listening. Sending love your way..
Amen. Thank you. On Sunday morning service it felt like God was giving me confirmation the sermon was about salvation and that’s what I been praying on last week including a restored relationship with my friend Alex is his name. My sister in Christ prayed for me as well and put blessing oil on my head and hands. She said that the guy I’m praying for will come back and for me to get blessed oil. Just olive oil and have my pastor pray over the oil. And when the guy comes back into my life for me to put some blessed oil on his head and pray for him I took that as confirmation.
Make sure you pray for God to heal him of his addictions. There isn’t any way you can make a relationship work if you, him or both aren’t in the best place to give of themselves. I wish the best for you and him and hope he’s lead to the light, away from the darkness that is addiction!
