THE CHOSEN’S CHRISTMAS EPISODE

BROUGHT TO YOU BY: COME&SEE FOUNDATION

Chris Carlberg’s Story:

My name is Chris, and I'm a grateful recovering addict (17+ years); God has changed my life. I’m also one of the founders of the new website, AddictionHelp.com. Addiction Help is one of the only educational websites founded by a recovering addict, an addict’s spouse, and a board-certified addiction doctor.

Did you know faith-based recovery programs use the spiritual side to encourage recovery and continued sobriety?

My Story:

I owe everything to Jesus Christ. He has given me a whole new life. When I was in high school, I was afraid to go to school every day. I loved theater and the arts, as a result, the jocks picked on me and bullying became an everyday part of my world; one I couldn’t escape from until I took my first two migraine pills together. The high I felt from taking those pills is one I began to chase, only it required more and more pills to achieve. 
Over time I was at 60 Vicodin a day, barely functioning, spending reckless amounts of money on this habit and I nearly died from it. The turning point was when I was high at an internet cafe and passed out, an ambulance was called and I nearly died on my way to the hospital. Seeing my dad cry when I cameto in the hospital was the moment I decided this was going to be over. I went to detox, committed to regular rehab meetings, and stayed off meds. I still felt something was missing. A friend introduced me to my now-wife Jenna. I started going to church with Jenna, I spoke with her father (a Sunday school teacher of 20 years) and decided to pray to accept Jesus into my life. I accepted Jesus for me; he loved me without me doing anything. He’s given me answers. 

Addiction Help is committed to helping save innocent lives from drug overdose and suicide through faith-based programs, but we need your help.
