Summary

I used to struggle deeply with alcoholism—so much so that it tore at my marriage and family. Despite growing up in church and accepting Jesus early on, I fell into a destructive pattern of drinking that isolated me from my loved ones. My life hit rock bottom when I got arrested on suspicion of DWI. In that desperate moment, I cried out to the Lord for forgiveness. He answered my prayer and transformed my life. Today, I stand as living proof that when you truly surrender to Jesus, restoration is not only possible but life-changing. I share my testimony in the hope that others facing similar battles may find strength in God’s healing love.

Summary

I’m Chris. Nine years ago, I attended Minnesota Adult & Teen Challenge to overcome my addiction to drugs and alcohol. My journey began after enduring deep family trauma when my older brother committed suicide, which led me to seek solace in substance use from a young age. Despite numerous relapses, time in prison, and the constant cycle of addiction, I eventually found freedom when a counselor laid hands on me and prayed for me at Teen Challenge. That moment marked a spiritual breakthrough, and since then, I have experienced a transformation that restored my identity and purpose. Today, I stand as a testimony of freedom, knowing that God’s Spirit has lifted my burdens and set me on a new path.

My Testimony: Alcoholic to Freedom In Jesus

Summary

My name is Jordan Schmidt, and I’m here to share my personal journey of how Jesus Christ rescued me from a life of addiction. For about 10 years, I battled drugs, alcohol, and pornography—enslaved by what people thought of me. I grew up attending church because of my mother, but I didn’t truly understand a relationship with God until later. Through countless struggles, job instability, and broken relationships, I hit rock bottom. Eventually, I turned to alcoholics anonymous, where I found honesty, accountability, and a path back to God. With daily meetings, the life recovery steps, and a renewed trust in Jesus, I now stand over two and a half years sober, blessed with a loving wife, restored family relationships, and a new purpose in life. I am forever grateful for the freedom and new life I have received through Him.

Summary

I first encountered pornography as a child at eight or nine, and that early experience set the stage for a secret addiction that escalated during my college years. Despite meeting the woman I dreamed of marrying in 2014, my hidden life led to a broken engagement. Realizing I couldn’t continue down this destructive path, I turned to a 12-step group. Through God’s faithfulness, I learned that even when I faltered, He remained constant, pulling me out of addiction and deepening the love between Amy and me. I’m now excited about an addiction recovery ministry called “Living Free” that allows me to share my story, hoping that my journey will inspire others to experience God’s transformative power.

Summary

Hi, my name is Becky Peterson and this is my story. I was raised in the ‘70s in an environment where drugs, alcohol, and a “free spirit” lifestyle were the norm. Starting in high school at 16, I never went a day without a drink. Later, in my 30s, when my daughter Nicole warned me about my drinking, I reached a breaking point. That moment of crisis—when my husband’s concern and the realization of my destructive habits hit me hard—became the turning point in my life. I prayed fervently for help, and through God’s guidance, I was delivered from the grip of alcoholism. Today, I am sober, and I thank Jesus every day for the recovery and hope He has brought into my life.

Summary

Despite the conflicting details in the provided data, I have relied on the transcript which clearly presents a personal testimony of a young girl battling a pornography addiction. In my testimony, I share how, beginning in freshman year, I struggled in secret—feeling deep guilt, shame, and isolation while trying to fight the addiction on my own. My inner turmoil left me feeling unworthy, despite appearing as the ‘good Christian girl.’ However, everything changed when I sought help through consistent quiet times and the mentor program at my church. My mentor welcomed me with unconditional love and reassured me that Christ’s love frees us from guilt and shame. This intervention brought profound relief, transforming my inner state and enabling me to build an accountability group with others facing similar struggles. Today, I stand as a testimony to God’s power to break the hold of sin, restore self-worth, and lead me into a life of healing and freedom. All glory goes to Jesus.

Powerful Testimony – Man Set Free From His Gambling Addiction

Witness21

Summary

I’ve spent my entire life caught in the cycle of gambling—starting as a child in a Jewish family of gamblers, where even my father and grandmother were in the game. For years, despite earning thousands every week, every paycheck would vanish by the following Friday. I also struggled with smoking cigarettes and weed for 17 years. I was trapped in addictions I couldn’t break free from until I came to this ministry about 8 to 12 months ago. There, I was led into leadership classes where during worship, I experienced a powerful ministerial moment. I dropped to my knees as I felt a warm cloak of God’s presence, saw visions of wings, and received the message to ‘follow me’—a turning point that broke the demons of my addictions. Today, I proudly say that I’ve been set free. I’m a leader now, a boss with a team of around 50 people, and I owe my deliverance to God’s intervention. My wife’s heartfelt prayers for me to be the man she always knew I could be also played a huge role. Now, with God living in me, life is challenging but doing the right thing has become easier.
