Faith is like a dam, holding back the water of alcohol. If we take one drink of alcohol, it’s like opening the dam. Once the dam has been opened the water (alcohol) rushes in. We have to make sure we don’t let in even one drop or the gates are open and we fall right back into our old ways. In a Christ centered recovery program we learn to let God in. When we have faith in God it keeps the dam strong and in repair. In going to church and bible study we have the tools to keep the dam from breaking and the damage from being done. If I practice the presence of God in everything I think and do my life will change. When going to a Christ centered treatment program such as A New Life at Lakeview Health we are given the specialized treatment for Christians who have lost their direction. We find our way back through Christ.
