Summary

Irene Rollins, a pastor’s wife, mother, and once-respected member of her church community, appeared to have it all on the surface—a loving family, a supportive church, and a stable home. However, beneath that facade, the weight of unresolved past traumas and pain drove her into the clutches of alcohol. Despite maintaining a normal appearance at church, her home life was in chaos: heated arguments with her husband, secret drinking, and the emotional suffering of her children. It wasn’t until a close circle of family and friends intervened—and after a long, painful 40-day rehab where she confronted buried memories of abuse—that Irene finally admitted her struggle with alcoholism. In a powerful moment of vulnerability, she declared her identity as an alcoholic and experienced the liberating flood of God’s grace. This encounter not only lifted a tremendous burden off her shoulders but also transformed her relationships at home, bringing her family closer together. Now, through sharing her story, she encourages others to break free from their own chains and embrace the healing power of Jesus.
