- Cautions
People struggling with chemical addiction and other substance abuse disorder often let their pain and failures define their identity, how they view themselves, and what they in turn base their future choices on. By helping them let go of the false beliefs that continually trap them in addiction and in any disorder, they have to be introduced to the door to God’s truth about their identity in Christ.
